Sir,

Major Wool, when officer of the day, the 3rd April last, at Champlain, arrested Ensign Gates of the 5th Infantry, and a few days after charged him with sleeping on his post the night of the 5th April, this mistake in the date of the charge...compel a Court, I presume, to acquit the accused, however, it's not Mr. Gates wish, to evade a trial.....

Women's Roles In The Northern Theater

 The Champlain 1812 website has resources  for lesson plans for parents and teachers, including one entitled

Misses, Mistresses, and Misconception, Women’s Roles in the Northern Theater Of the War of 1812 (a 28 page pdf file). 

An excerpt:
   

The Plattsburgh [NY] Republican, in November 1812, published the following, an indication of how women contributed to the war effort: “The young ladies of Manchester, Bennington county, have presented the troops belonging to the Vermont detached Militia with one hundred pairs of socks and mittens, which will ensure them the esteem of the soldiers, and entitle them to the respect of the citizens.” September, the time of the Battle of Plattsburgh, was the time when women had to begin planning for winter. Crops had to be harvested, preserved, placed in a root cellar, or dried. The advancing British army threatened this process, and raised fears of a loss of the winter food supply.

Commemorating The Battle Of Plattsburgh

From the Battle of Plattsburgh Organization website:

The totally unexpected American victory thwarted the British plans to control Lake Champlain and led to the signing of the Treaty of Ghent which ended the War of 1812 on Christmas Eve, 1814.
