" Head-Quarters, Fort Erie, Sept. IS.
" MY DEAR GENERAL.—The sortie that I have,
been contemplating ever since my return to this
place, was ordered yesterday.—lt succeeded. We
carried the enemy's battery, destroyed his battering
cannon, and blew up a strong new work which he bad
erected 'with a view of destroying Fort Erie. He
resisted manfully, but was promptly overpowered :
his loss—s prisoners his total loss cannot be
less t:+ :ti St nwn. I have to lament the loss of many
gallant talkers. Our loss is not numerous, and our
strength is but little impaired by the splendid atchiev
ment. General Ripley is severely wounded ; Colo.!
nels Gibson and Wood killed : Colonel Aspinwall
has lost an arm, and Major Trimbel is, I bear, need
tally wounded."
