American soldier and statesman who was a delegate to the Continental Congress, US senator from New York, and secretary of war (1758–1843). War-dated LS, one page, 7.75 x 9.75, July 1, 1813. Letter to Brigadier General Henry Burbeck. In full: “Call in Col. Benjamins recruits & with them garrison your Forts. The militia can be ill spared at this busy season, you will therefore dismiss them with the Presidents thanks for the promptitude with which they turned out and expressions of his confidence in their zeal & courage, should farther trials be necessary. Mr. Tracy will furnish you with materials…for putting the forts in good order.” Reverse of second integral page is docketed in an unknown hand, “Orders from the W. department 1 July.” In very good condition, with scattered toning and soiling, as well as some creases and wrinkles.
