War department, June 30^th 1793. Gentlemen. I have had the honor to receive your letter of the 23^rd and 30^th inst: which is highly satisfactory. From an expedition, so appointed, and actuated with such zeal and gallantry, much may be expected: and, I sincerely pray God, that it may be entirely successful. The regulars and levies intended for the main expedition, are all in motion forwards, and a great proportion have for some time since arrived at Fort Pitt, and have partly been stationed for the defence of the frontiers, while others have descended to Fort Washington. It is to be hoped, that the troops who have inlisted and marched with the old troops, on the Ohio will be sufficient for the campaign. But, if circumstances should render an additional number necessary, — the zeal and patriotism of Kentucky will readily afford them, on the request of the commander in chief. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient Ser^v [signature] [left margin notation:] His honor the Judge Innes, and Governor Logan & Shelby.
