Defence of Canada and failures of European tactics
A lengthy letter criticizes the mishandling of the Canadian defense by Prevost and a commander as inferior to European officers. It contrasts American victory tactics with European methods and cites a costly failed Mobile attack and heroic American gun crews. Reports from Germany describe Napoleonic-era intrigues and ambassador changes in Paris, with broader comment on France and Italy.
