Transcription
H.Q. Plattsburg. June 11th, 1814. Judge Moore Sir, It would give me real pleasure to authorize your visit to Canada if I felt that I had the Right to do so. My command is purely military; Passports are granted by the Departmt. of State. Mr. Acton brought me a letter from Col. Monroe requesting me to assist him in his Progress; this I could no otherwise do than by offering him the Protection of a Flag to the British Ports. You are yourself better able to decide than I upon the Propriety of your entering the Enemy’s Country. I can only say that I shall not oppose your doing so, and that my Duty merely requires me to give Information to Government of the circumstances. I am very respectfully, Sir, your obedt. Servt. Geo. Izard
