Excerpt from Memoirs of the Campaign of the North Western Army of the United States, A. D. 1812: In a Series of Letters Addressed to the Citizens of the United States Fellow Citizens, When my defence before the Court Martial was published, I stated in a preface addressed to you, that it was not then in my power to present all the documents and evidence which related to the subject; that the proceedings were deposited in the office of the Secretary of the department of War, and by law, I was entitled to a copy of them; and as soon as they were obtained, they should be published in separate numbers. Until the present time, I have not been able to obtain them. Immediately after the trial, during the administration of Mr. Madison, I addressed a letter to the Secretary of War, Gen. Armstrong, requesting a certified copy. He did not think proper to comply with my request, or even return an answer to my application. Lately, under the administration of President Monroe, they have been prepared and transmitted by Mr. Calhoun, the present Secretary, with a promptitude and independence becoming the character of that officer. Although it has been a source of severe regret, that I have not been able to make this communication at an earlier period, yet under all circumstances, perhaps it ought not to be considered a misfortune.
