213 - L. May 28; ed: 1/1,2 - Wallandigham occupies a suite of rooms at the
Hirons House in Windsor, Canada. His sitting-room windows face the
river, giving him a view of the water front of Detroit. He sits with
field glasses in his hand, watching all who cross on the ferry. All who
see him must have satisfactory introductions. About every three weeks
he makes a trip into the interior. Strange to say, no one crosses the
river to see him during his absence, but immediately upon his return his
room is full of guests. They are deserters from the Rebel army, Rebel
agents, spies and riff-raff of outlaws made up of Morgan's men.
"It may be observed, however, that if the accumulation of dirt is any
criterion of the exact locality of the (aegis), Windsor must certainly
be the place." - (17)

throw water over the boat in case of fire. She carries a large yawl and

cussing the reciprocity treaty and agrees that a commission is needed

2298 - L. Nov. 2; ed:4/6 - Reports that an attack would be made on this
city last night caused a great deal of excitement among the people.
The origin of the alarm seems to have come from a dispatch sent to Lieu-
tenant Colonel Palmer stationed at Johnson's island, stating that 100
men had left Toronto for the purpºse of pillaging Detroit and Buffalo.
One rumor brought on another and every suspicious-looking person was
questioned. All necessary precautions were taken to insure the safety
as well as the property of the citizens. (15)
