And now, here’s my favourite bit of writing ever, from 1776:

Washington also wanted barrels filled with earth set in rows in front of the parapets, to add to the appearance of strength, but more importantly to stand ready to be rolled down the steep slopes on the advancing enemy. He had, “a very high opinion of the defense which may be made with barrels” he told Artemus Ward, stressing that the hoops should be well nailed so the barrels would not break to pieces.

On Saturday evening, March 2, Washington wrote in haste to Artemus Ward that everything must be set and ready to go on Monday night, March 4. After folding and sealing the note, he scrawled on the back, “Remember barrels.”
