Petition Ensign in Militia
The Memorial of the Militiamen in Captain Visgers Company (Detroit) to his Excellency Governor Harrison
Humbly
Whereas there has been a vacancy in our company for some time of an Ensign Owing to Mr. Oneal moving to Post Vincent. We trust your Excellency will not impute it presumptive in us to offer for your Excellency's consideration John Ba. Cicott, Jun. as a fit character to supply the place.
We are sensible Sir of the impropriety of attempting to dictate to our Executive but this is by no means our intention in the most obstant view but we trust that it will strike your Excellency forcibly the being commanded by such person as have our esteem and confidence.
