To-morrow, I am told, is the time fixed for my execution. I would that I could die a soldier's death! and yet it matters not. I rejoice I have few who will bewail my fate-none who can feel humiliated by my ignominy. I have but a short very short time to prepare for that hour and make peace with the righteous being whom we have all offended.
I shall dispose of my worldly effects so as to make the best reparation in my power for the evil I have unwittingly caused. To the families of the unfortunate men who were killed at Windmill Point, I leave a legacy, though they suffered from a chance shot of the militia, not, as has been said, from our cool and deliberate aim. I trust my memory will be cleared from the charge of inhumanity. I paid every possible attention to the wounded prisoners who fell in my power, and I placed sen- tries over the body of Lieutenant Johnson, a brave and gallant young officer, to protect him from indignity. I have one favor only to request; it is, that my poor remains may be delivered to a friend whom I will name, to be buried on his own estate. The British government, I trust, have too much generosity to refuse this trifling boon. May God forgive those whose evil councils have brought me to this untimely end; I will die in charity with all mankind. The miniature of my lost Therese, my first and only love, still rests upon my heart, and in this dark and solemn hour, she seems to smile on me as she was wont in happier days. I pray that it may be buried with me!"
He was 31 years of age. His father held a major's commis- sion at the battle of Warsaw, and he had himself arisen to the same rank.
