" Dear Parents:
" I have only time to inform you that we are about embarking for Canada.
Our army from Fort George is on the way up the lake to join us. They
have abandoned Fort George, after destroying it, and the town of Newark.
I am happy to inform you that I am promoted from a 3d to a 2d lieut., from
last May, and by vacancies happening above me I am now a 1st lieut., and
have command of a company of 60 men. The conflict will be a bloody one,
and if I survive it, will write particulars (I hope from Montreal); if not, remember
me as I deserve. I hope to sustain the honor of our family and name.
I am in high spirits and sure of conquering. My love to all our family and
friends.
" In haste, I remain
"Your obedient,
" Edward Olmsted,
" Lieut. 16th U. S. Infantry."
