to the building from which they were employed in conveying them.
We found in and about the camp a considerable quantity of cannon
ball, and upwards of one hundred stand of arms.

I send you enclosed herein a return of our loss. The return of
prisoners enclosed does not include the stragglers that came in
after the action.

I have the honour to be, &c.,

To the Honourable Head Quarters, Fort Camp Erie,
John ARMSTRONG, October 1st, 1814.
Secretary of War, Washington, D. C.

Sir: Looking over my official account of the action of the 17th
ultimo, I find that the names of the regiments which composed
General Miller's command have not been given. As I believe it
even more important to distinguish corps than individuals, I am
anxious to correct this mistake. General Miller on that day
commanded the remains of the 9th and 11th infantry, and a
detachment of the 19th. Of three field officers who were attached
to them, two were severely wounded, Lieutenant-Colonel Aspinwall,
of the 9th, gallantly leading his men to the attack upon the
enemy's entrenchments; and Major Trimble, of the 19th, who was
shot within their works, conducting with great skill and bravery.
A detachment of the 17th regiment was attached to the 21st.

I have the honour to be, &c.,
Jacob BROWN.
