To the Honourable United States Frigate Constitution,
Paul HAMILTON, Boston, August 30, 1812.
Secretary of the Navy, Washington, D. C.

Sir:
- - - - -

I cannot but make you acquainted with the very great assistance I
received from that valued officer, Lieutenant Morris, in bringing
the ship into action, and in working her whilst along side the
enemy, and I am extremely sorry to state that he is badly
wounded, being shot through the body; we have yet hopes of his
recovery, when I am sure he will receive the thanks and gratitude
of his country, for this and the many gallant acts he has done in
its service. Were I to name any particular officer as having been
more useful than the rest, I should do them great injustice; they
all fought bravely, and gave me every possible assistance that I
could wish. I am extremely sorry to state to you the loss of
Lieutenant Bush, of marines; he fell at the head of his men in
getting ready to board the enemy. In him our country has lost a
valuable and brave officer. After the fall of Lieutenant Bush,
Lieutenant Contee of the corps, took command of the marines, and
I have pleasure in saying that his conduct was that of a brave,
good officer, and the marines behaved with great coolness and
courage during the action, and annoyed the enemy very much whilst
she was under our stern.

I have the honour to be, with very great respect, Sir, your
obedient servant,
Isaac HULL.
