Thomlinson had called the leaders of the Northern Sons of Liberty to again assemble at St. Catharines the last Thursday in January. Henry had concluded to remain and learn fully their intentions and schemes.
At the suggestion of his surgeon, he with his two Aides-de-camp and old Ham, returned to Allentown until such time as he could again recover sufficiently to perform his duty.

She finally managed to have an interview with the Secretary, and, after explaining who she was and her mission South, he replied with some nervousness: "'Henry Lyon' Is he a son of Daniel Lyon, of Allentown, Ind.? "On being answered in the affirmative, he exclaimed: "'My God? what affliction that family has had! His oldest son died recently, being the third son he has lost since this war began.
