Fort Harmar, July 28. 1788. Sir I have the Honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Letter of the 4^th instant enclosing dispatches from Congress to the People of Kentucky. On the 17^th instant they were forwarded from hence, by M^r Francis Huse who inform'd me that he would take the most particular care that they shoul'd be safely delivered. The Grand Treaty will be deferred for some time — At the request of the Governor I ordered a Subaltern — Sergeant, Corporal, & Twenty Privates as an Escort for the Parson and to build a Council Room for the Assem, at the Falls of the Muskingum. Regardless of all faith and Honor a party of the Ottawas & Chippeways attacked this party on the morning of the 13^th Inst and killed two, one is missing
