As yet thofe with in the U.

Hawk n’s anlwer, w-th fub jfequrut information which I have re ceived, fully convinces me, tha” wc have no laiisfrdtioß to cxptd from thole Indians, and coni quently that u ughi to look to ur own iafety. With this vie'w, l have given orders to ! ?ve a ftock of pro vender a.id p ov (no com rad’ ; for an i depo fi r.d at Frader’i H 11, for fi e hun dred Cavalry, a. and uncnued as foon as thofe (uppl t s were procured, to Older thit number to take the fi id.
