On my arrival about ten days ago in this country, I found our Frontiers greatly alarmed by the Savages, and many have actually moved off from about the mouth of Racoon Creek, To increase the Danger, on the ninth Instant a party of Virginians under the Command of Captain Brady, fell on a Party of trading Indians at the Block House, and killed four or five; since which, I find it very difficult to prevent the settlement adjoining the River from Breaking up. — I have ordered Thirty, men under a subaltern to range near the River from the virginia line upwards, and give intelligence of any parties that may be coming to war — the Militia are greatly in want of Arms and ammunition, I have been oblig'd to get a Quarter bark of Powder and one hundred weight of lead for their use from Elliott and Williams. &. I am &. Signed Presley Nevil [True Extract [undecipherable] Brady jun. [undecipherable] True [undecipherable] Copy of the Extract A. J. Dallas. War. Depar^t. Secretary Mar. 28. 1791]
