Pay of the Legion's Troops and Safety of Officials
Description
Knox directs Wayne to arrange for the pay of the troops both above and below the Ohio River. Whenever the Governor or Judges or traveling on public business they should be accompanied by an escort in order to ensure their safety.
The payment of the troops at and below Fort Washington will be easy--but circumstanced as Mr. Swan is, it will be more difficult to pay the old troops above--you will however please to direct him to make an arrangement for that purpose.
