Jonathan Cass recruiting in Philadelphia; reporting on the disposition of the Indians; poor prospects for peace
Document 1792Cited in Knox to Wayne, 10/12/1792. Capt. Jonathan Cass was relieved from his command at Fort Franklin by Capt. Hughes and is now on his way to Philadelphia to await recruiting instructions and money from Knox. He will provide Knox with information relating to the disposition of the Indians and the number that have gone to meet the hostile tribes. Wayne is sure that there will be no peace save that achieved on the battlefield, unless a boundary line which excludes America from the Lakes is agreed upon. Wayne will wait to elucidate the true reason why the posts on the Lakes have not been delivered up agreeably to the treaty.
