The Life and Correspondence of Sir Isaac Brock

CHAPTER XII
20/24

There is hardly a house on either side of the river that has not been robbed by them; they have taken away the greater part of the captured horses and cattle, and without our being able to prevent it.

It has not been in my power as yet to send a statement of all that we have captured, as the property is so scattered, but I hope to finish this week.

We got upwards of L1,200 in money, and have sent down a hundred packs worth, I suppose L1,500 more.

I have reason to think the captured property will not be much under L40,000.
We have still 350 prisoners to ship off, but I hope to get rid of them in a few days.

Public confidence seems to be partially restored; business is again going on, and I hope that the country will become perfectly quiet.
It is impossible for me to say when I shall get done here.
