To Colonel Henry Hamilton
Commanding
Fort Detroit
Sir ---
this is to inform you that the His Majesty's
men-of-war, the H.M.S. Centurion and the Vanguard,
with full contingents of Royal Marines, are now within
cannon range of the miscreant warparties led by the renegades Satans Toe and Goat Foot, who have retreated towards their canoes upon the shore of Lake Erie.
Do you wish me to offer them the chance to surrender, or blow the buggers out of the water if they resist?
I await your pleasure.
YOS ---
Sir George Saunders
Vice-Admiral
His Majesty's Royal Navy
