I certify that Mrs. Secord, Wife of James Secord of Queenston, Esquire, did in the Month of June, 1813, come to the Beaver Dam and communicate to me information of an intended attack to be made by the Enemy upon the Detachment then under my command there, which occasionally occupied a large Stone House at the place. The information was substantially correct, and a detachment did march for the Beaver Dam, (on the morning of the second day after the information was given) under the command of Lieut. Colonel Boerstler, which detachment was captured. Mrs. Secord arrived at my station about sunset of an excessively warm day, after having walked twelve miles, which I at the time thought was an exertion which a person of her slender frame and delicate appearance was unequal to make.
