8774. VAN RENSSELAER (General S.), Failure of.—
Will not Van Rensselaer be
broke for cowardice and incapacity? To advance
such a body of men across a river without
securing boats to bring them off in case of disaster,
has cost us seven hundred men; and to
have taken no part himself in such an action,
and against such a general could be nothing
but cowardice.—
To President Madison.
