Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Times of Andrew Jackson Soldier Statesman President, Vol. 2 Shortly after the battle of New Orleans, General Jackson dispatched Col. Arthur P. Hayne to Washington, the bearer of important official documents; and immediately after his return with his army, after driving the British into the ships, looking to what might come if the British General should again attack New Orleans or Mobile, he wrote Colonel Hayne at Washington a truly characteristics letter. General Jackson never,like some of our great generals, after a victory, rested for a days on the glory achieved, but with vigilance pursued or prepared for what might come. The letter referred to, dated 25th of January, 1815, is a truly Jacksonian paper in more ways than one. Read it carefully: "Headquarters, New Orleans, January 25, 1815. "Sir: It is my desire, when you arrive in Washington, that you would impress on the mind of the Secretary of War the necessity of expediting regular troops to the defense of this district. General Coffee´s brigade will be entitled to honorable discharge on the 20th of March, General Carroll´s division on the 15th of May, and General Thomas´ detachment from Kentucky about the same time. "Prevented by motives of delicacy and other causes. I have not made these discriminations nor urged those pretensions which the respective merits of officers required.
