Detroit Frontier :F renchtown, January 22, 1813 A rchives, C. 678, p. 25. Extracts from a Letter from Colonel Procter at Sandwich to Major-G eneral Sheajfe at .S andwich, Jan 13 :1813 :N othing can be more gratifying to me than to find effectual measures taken to ensure the Superiority on the Lakes, so requisite to the security of the Country. Every exertion is making and shall be persevered in, as far as depends on me, to attain that object. The Gun boats are to be built on the Thames, by which much time and expense will be saved. I want no assistance towards building the Gun boats. The Labor and Materials I have at hand. It is not so with respect to the Ship :however no time need be lost. An estimate of the materials is sent, and a saving of time and expense will arise in proportion to the number of Shipwrights employed in building Her. In the rigging of the Ship, a Naval Officer should direct, and Sailors be employed. I do not believe there are either here properly qualified. I have taken it for granted that we are to receive Officers and Seamen from the only adequate source, the Royal Navy.
