Smith’s comment on the above letter, Vol. 3, page 426, History of Wisconsin: “The above letter is extracted from Niles Register of August 18th, 1832, and it does not appear to whom it is addressd: but it is highly probable that it is the letter which was sent to the commandant of Fort Crawford, at Prairie du Chien, which Captain Estes carried as express.
“The singularity of the language of the letter will be evident, when it is considered that General Henry had the chief command at the battle of Wisconsin Heights, and not Colonel Dodge.”
