HARRISON TO EUSTIS

Head Quarters

St Marys 29th Septr 1812

Sir,

I have thought it proper to appoint Mr. Thomas Butler to act as Quarter Master for the Troops under General Hopkins in the Indiana and Illinois Territory until the decision of the President can be Known. Mr. Butler was many years an officer of the army and when he resigned (a year ago) was perhaps the oldest Lieut in his Regiment, he has experience and capacity to qualify him for the appointment he will accept of the Commiss- ion of Ensign in any of the Regiments.

I have the Honor to be &c Willm Henry Harrison
