Headquarters Upper Sandusky Jany 18th, 1813.

My worthy old friend

Genl. Harrison ordered us on here from Franklinton some time since of which I advised you. We left there on New Years day... .  Genl. Harrison & his suit left here this morning for Lower Sandusky. We march this day for the rapids of the Maumee ... .

There is now here about 2500 Men which I expect will follow us in a few days. This place & Delaware has been very sickly — three buried here yesterday.

I cannot help expressing my great pleasure at the beauties of this country, the plains of Sandusky are the most beautiful my eyes ever beheld, they are in every respect elegant.
