From She Would Be a Soldier; Or, The Plains of Chippewa by M. M. (Mordecai Manuel) Noah

No, not so; your image is too forcibly impressed here to need so dull a monitor. But I ask it to reciprocate--wear this for my sake (Gives a miniature.), and think of him who, even in the battle's rage, will not forget thee. (Bugle sounds at a distance.) Hark! 'tis a bugle of our army. (Enter a SOLDIER, who delivers a letter to LENOX and retires--LENOX opens and reads it.) "The enemy, in force, has thrown up entrenchments near Chippewa; if your wounds will permit, join your corps without delay--a battle is unavoidable, and I wish you to share the glory of a victory. You have been promoted as an aid to the general for your gallantry in the last affair. It gives me pleasure to be the first who announces this grateful reward--lose not a moment. Your friend, MANDEVILLE." I must be gone immediately. (Enter JASPER and JENKINS from the cottage.)
