Letter, 1812.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/28573378

General James Winchester wrote this letter October 27, 1812, to Lieutenant Colonel Robert Pogue, giving military orders during the War of 1812. Winchester wrote from Fort Winchester to Pogue at Fort Jennings. The letter countermanded a previous order to march given to Pogue. Winchester instead ordered Pogue to employ part of his regiment in constructing "water crafts" for the transportation of stores down the Anglaise River.
