". . . Simonton’s company was at the siege of Fort Meigs and underwent many hardships. The following extract from an original letter, now in existence, will serve to show the spirit that animated those heroes:

Fort Meigs, Foot of the Rapids of the Miami of the Lake
Monday, the 28th June, 1813

Dear Wife: * * * * * We have been preparing to receive another visit from the enemy this while past, but it is the opinion of a good many they never will have the effrontery to show their infernal faces at Fort Meigs again; if they do, they will have cause to rue it, as our forces will be strong enough to give them a complete drubbing. Eight hundred mounted men from Kentucky arrived here last night. Our beloved and worthy General Harrison left here the 12th of last month and I have not seen him since, but he is expected here this evening with a number of regular troops. * * * * *
