Fort Pitt, April 26, 1785. Sir, I have now an opportunity to transmit, and shall embrace the liberty to inform you of my order to visit Captain Heart's post. — I left Muskingum on the 6^th inst, and on the 9^th met General Putnam and part of the Ohio Company. Be assured, Sir, that every assistance and protection that is in my power, shall be rendered to the Concern. — I make not the least doubt, but a flourishing settlement will soon take place, as they are industrious, and quite a different set of people from those frontier men. — I waited with great impatience for the arrival of General Putnam, and it must have afforded me peculiar pleasure to have been personally present with him, but Major Doughty, who commands during my absence will agreably to your orders [undecipherable: afford] him every assistance. — Mr. Nicholson, the Interpreter, and M^cCurdy who resides at this place, returned from Kentucky on the 13^th instant. His intelligence is that the Indians will be late in assembling to the treaty, and that it is their determination to insist peremptorily, on the Ohio river as the boundary. — I do not think that full powers and ought to be given to the Commissioners to cede to the Indians the lands which, in the repose of fact the interest and property of North river of Captain Hearts work. — Please direct Captain Heart to make out a map of the country from Mango to Scioto, which I shall shortly have the honor of transmitting to you. — I have the honor to be &c Jos. Harmar.
