[Major Gen^l Knox N^o 2] [Sec^y of War] Pittsburgh June 15^th 1792 Dear Sir, I arrived at this place yesterday noon, and found every thing quiet, and a small Garrison of about Forty recruits under Cap^t Hughes, which with a Corporals' command of Dragoons which I brought on with me constitutes the whole force at this post— We have nothing worth communicating except what you will see in the Pittsburgh paper of this day: the Contractors are sending off six boats with provision, and Stores for Fort Washington tomorrow — but cant more than half load them, on account of the lowness of the water. I have wrote Gen^t Wilkinson announcing my arrival at this place, requesting him, to transmit me any ma=terial intelligence he may receive, respecting the move=ments, or intentions of the hostile Indians &c May I now request that you will be pleased to forward the recruits from their respective rendezvous the soonest possible, for I really feel awkardly situated, a General without troops is something similar to a fish out of water: I also wish to be informed, whether it is the intention of the President, that I should immediately upon the arrival of a small Escort, proceed to Fort Washington, or remain here for the purpose of organizing & disciplining the troops as they collect — and wait eventual orders — I pray you to be explicit upon this head; in the interim I will make such a Disposition of the State troops, under Maj^r M^cCully, and the rangers & Indians under Lieut^t Jeffris as will best secure the frontiers in this quarter from Insult & depredation. — I have the honor to be with Sincere Esteem your most ob^t &very Hum^le Servant Anty Wayne. — Major Gen^d Knox Sec^y of War —
