Logbook - HMS Tartarus, 1815. Logbook - HMS Newcastle, 1816-1817. The letters include those to Sir Pulteney Malcolm's wife, Clementina. One such letter not in the collection, was offered for sale by William Reese Co. of New Haven, Connecticut, catalog 282 Recent Acquisitions in Americana, 2011, item 48, detailing the Chesapeake Campaign, the attack on Baltimore, and the bombardment of Fort McHenry, dated September 10-16, 1814. An abstract of this letter was published in the Reese catalog:
"We landed on the 12th fourteen miles from Baltimore at North Point ... At three the enemy was discovered and just as our troops were formed an unfortunate ball struck my esteemed and gallant friend [General Ross]. The only words he spoke were, Take me to the Royal Oak [the ship] and if I die request the Admiral to write my wife. I sincerely lament him, I had formed a strong friendship for him and it was reciprocal. He was not only a brave, but he was a good man. He was always at the front, at Washington he escaped by a miracle, he had two horses shot under him. I have written to Mrs. Ross, she is at Bristol with his brother. He died on his way to the beach in the arms of a Lieut. of the Royal Oak who had always accompanied him. I have had his body preserved, and we propose burying him at Halifax and erecting a monument. Our army defeated the Americans but on their approach to Baltimore they found it defended by a strong intrenched camp with double their numbers to defend it. We had got within shot of the Bat[t]eries, but they had sunk ships to prevent our approach; our bombs could only throw shells into the Forts, they could not reach the town... It was considered the we might force the works, but that our loss would be more than our little Army could stand. It was therefore resolved to retreat which they did and embarked without molestation ... there is only this to be said that on approaching Baltimore it was found too strong and we gave up the enterprise having beat a superior force on the road. My own opinion is that if it had been attacked in the night by bayonet it should have succeeded. ..." For transcribing and annotating, see: ebook
