[No 51 From Major Gen^l Knox [undecipherable]] War department April 20^th 1793 Sir I enclose you a duplicate of my let- ttle of the 13 instant and I have to acknowledge yours of the same date. All the powder requested has been and is sending forward. peculiar care shall be taken to seperate the poorest part of that which is in the public possession. The considerable rains that have happened for ten days past it is expected will freell the Ohio suffi- ciently for your purposes. The President of the United States having arrived and his directions having been recei- ed relative to the Troops you will not be detained any longer for orders. But you will defend the Ohio im- mediately.
