Alliances

Dear His Majesty,

Good news at last. On August 13 1812 the First Nations leader Tecumseh and I met near Detroit and agreed to help us if we return the land we sold to them. Not three days after, we launched an assault on the American fort of Detroit. When we were approaching the First Nations shouted their most ferocious war cries and before a single musket was fired General Hull surrendered despite the number of troops that he had at his disposal. A victory this early on has certainly struck courage into the hearts of our soldiers who are now beginning to believe that we may just be able to defeat the American soldiers. I hope you are pleased by this news.

Signed,
Major General Isaac Brock
