War Office December 10^th 1789. Sir By desire of the President of the United States I have to request the favor, that your Excellency would be pleased to direct a map of Kentucky and the western parts of Virginia to be transmitted to this office, with the divisions of the counties marked thereon.— The maps which are in the public possession, are totally wanting in the division of the western Counties, which occasions considerable perplexity, in ascertaining the information of the Depredations of the indians in that quarter.— I have also taken the liberty to enclose a letter of some public consequence to Colonel Arthur Campbell, which I pray may be forwarded to him by the first opportunity. I have the honor to be Sir your most Obedient humble Servant H Knox [His Excellency the Governor of Virginia — Richmond]
