Select British documents of the Canadian War of 1812, from Lt.-Col. Bruyeres at Kingston, to Prevost at Kingston, 19th January 1813:
Dear Sir:
"I left Prescott on Friday last after having given the
necessary directions to Lieut. de Gaugreben to proceed
with the Survey of that Post, and to erect without delay a
Block House on a small commanding spot in the rear of the
present Battery which it will completely protect; it is also
intended to improve, and close this Battery as soon as it is
possible to break ground. — I slept that night at Brockville,
twelve Miles from Prescott...".
