[] Fort Pitt. July 3. 1786. Sir- One John Bull (called by the Indians therbe) informs me that he left Detroit on the 29th of April, in company with one hundred Moravian Indians, men women and children, and are at present about four miles from Cuyahoga - that they have corssed the lake with the intention to settle near their old towns on the Muskingum, where a party of the Indians were formerly massacred; but as they are too late in the season in planting their intention is to remain and hunt near Cuyohoga until fall. He further informs me, that on the 7th ultimo Commodore Grant, with Captain McKee, Simon Girty and Matthew Elliott with forty Indians, among whom were the half King, Baubee, Koon and Gusheways, a cheif of the Ottawas and Chippewas, sailed from the mouth of the Sandusky river for Canada. They gave out that they were going as far as Quebec, with a design to purchase the land on the north side of the lake from the Indians, but it was generally supposed they were going no further than Niagria to a treaty which Sir. John Johnson (who was there) had invited them and the six nations to. These Moravian Indians (among whom Bull witoo) by what I can learn, have even been friendly to the United States. I am, your most obedient servant Jos. Harman General Knox, Secretary of War [Stamped] [End of page]
