Written to his son just one year before Revere retired at age 76, this letter reflects Revere's knowledge of impending political events that would eventually lead to the War of 1812. It also includes details about debts owed him, the shipment of "upwards of a Ton" of cannons to Baltimore, and endearing pleasantries showing his devotion to family.
