[Governor St Clair's Message] To Captain Pipe, and the other Chiefs of the Delaware Nation. My Friends and Brothers: Conformably to the engagement we mutually entered into at Fort Harmar, to give notice to each other of any hostile parties entering our respective countries, I informed you last summer that a force would march against the Shawanese and Miamies. Brothers! You very well know that these nations had been doing us continual Mischief— That we had borne them in hopes that your good counsel, they would come to their fenses, as long as it was possible to bear them; but those hopes were disappointed— the longer that revenge was delayed, the worse they became. Brothers! You know how they suffered last fall, but it has not had the proper effect upon them— They still continue to do mischief, and have since killed a number of defenceless women and children. Brothers!
