Is this actually from 1812? Is it not describing something that happened in Baltimore? The handwriting/ink is hard to read.

"...[An express dispatch reported] our army was in the heat of Battle & that it commenced at Two o'clock . The Town was in great commotion & we could give little comfort to my poor
sister but at ten another blessed express said that the [?] had been only a skirmish, no one killed on our side & that the British had retreated a few miles. This was a great relief...It is the
general opinion that the British will be here, that they will ten thousand men & that this Town will Surrender. "

No. 23

Reports that one of the leaders of the riot had just been acquitted and claims that several prominent families are leaving BC as a result, since "the Jacobin spirit is by no means confined to
the lower orders of democrats, but has infected all of them."

B. Chew, Philadelphia to Virgil Maxcey, Tulip Hill, West River, Annapolis
No. 28

"...If a peace of some sort should not shortly be parched up, I do not think Baltimore or any of our large towns that may be reached by an hostile threat will be desirable places of
residence where so comfortable and excellent an establishment as Tulip Hill can be profitably resorted to..."
