The Honorable
Henry Dearborn Esq
Secretary of War.

Si, In the spring of the year eighteen hundred and then, on my route to St. Stephens in the Mississippi Territory, I was introduced, at the Garrison of Fort Roddick, to Mr. Joseph Campbell, as a late, Lieutenant of the Army of the United States, he was then a married man as I understood and believed and had one for an only child. - said Campbell died I think, in the spring of the year 1805, and was buried as said Garrison of Fort Roddick. he resided within the american limits from the time I first knew to him, till the time of his death. - His son and only child by his said wife, was living in the month of August 1808. as I do believe
I am very respectfully
Your Most obed. Serv.
