[Rec^d. Letter No. 230 June 30^th 1792] War department June 30. 1792 Sir I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 22 of June. The Militia which your Excellency has ordered out in consequence of arrangements made by the authority of the President of the United States will be repaid promptly to your [undecipherable] order on the evidences being examined by the Accountant of this Office — It is however to be understood to be limited to the sums stipulated by Acts of Congress. The additional force ordered out by the Lieutenant Governor would appear to be necessary. Two companies of Riflemen raicing in Green Briar and Bottetourt Counties of Virginia are to rendezvous at the Mouth of the Great Kenhawa for the purpose of being [undecipherable] clothed and equipped, but they will not be stationed there for any given period. This point however will be regulated by the commanding General of the troops. All the recruits excepting small parties at each rendezvous have been ordered some time past to repair to the Ohio by the routes which have been directed. Delays have taken place at some rendezvous from the non arrivals at the times expected of clothing or other necessary equipments. Governor Blount in a letter of the Second Instant gives such information of the pacific dispositions of the great mass of the Cherokees that hopes are entertained of the entire reestablishment of tranquillity with that tribe — On the twenty third of May he met a great number of chiefs and people of all descriptions at one of the Indian Towns called Coyatte & received from them great satisfaction as to the sincerity of their dispositions for peace — They has appointed, as still more general assembly to be held at Estanaula the 23 of June at which it was expected that every thing now in dispute would be amicably adjusted. — Upon receiving the result of this meeting, it shall be communicated to your Excellency. I have the honor to be with great respect Your most obed: Servant — H Knox His Excellency Governor Lee.
