For J. Harmar's Albany Post — 1791
Sir
I am this moment embarking for [undecipherable] —
[undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] The [undecipherable]
[undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable]
of being able to accomplish [undecipherable] as I shall continue to receive
and am now nearly established.
In my arrival here I found a [undecipherable] account
of some consequence who had been detained for my coming by
their Zylpher and by him I have [Tuesday] sent a Message to
the Nation — the informers on that nearly the whole of our
of New [George] (that named to be [noted]) have gone to the
[Havanna] and among many of the [tobacco?] be [taking?]
by the same pretence that, if they could not go so as [undecipherable],
the [Americans] they will come and cut them off; by him I
sent a Message [also] to the [Pope] and the Chiefs of the [Talassia]

at present, no injury having happened. That I have heard

opposite to Pittsburgh the day before. I left it and taking away

a party consisting of eight, had [killed] a [undecipherable] at a [undecipherable]

other [party] whom [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable]
with, and wounded the [undecipherable] — that story [undecipherable]
that seems to [undecipherable] them — that was a bold [undecipherable] that
[Sheldon] [Morris] well [commanded] to have been halted for
[undecipherable] must have been the most [undecipherable] object of —
It appears very clear to me this [fact] notwithstanding the many
[frontiers] [undecipherable] that has been [gained] the number of [undecipherable]
