[Enclosure in p p / May 11 1791] War department, May 11^th 1793. Sir, I have just received your letter of the 28th of April, for which I sincerely thank you — I highly approve of Captain Hendricks being employed, and will make good any reasonable allowance to him for his services — Set him call on Colonel Pickering at Wyoming who will furnish him with clothing and necessaries for the patent — General Schuyler also mentioned an Oneida Chief of great respectability, who I wish would also accompany the others — But, I imagine the Comptroller has already anticipated [strikethrough: all] others, and gone forward. Colonels Colonel Brant is right as to the principle of the boundaries — The idea in future of conquest ought to be relinquished and fair purchase and optional sale take place. I shall be glad to hear that you have pushed forward Captain Hendricks and the Chief Peter. I am Sir with esteem & respect, Your very humble Serv^t Knox To The Rev^d Samuel Kirkland
