[Governor St. Clair from Gen^l Knox [Copied from the original sent to I. le. by Wm [undecipherable] agent [undecipherable] No^v 56?]] War Department April 24 1793 Sir The President of the United States has particularly directed me to inform you that the proposed treaty with the hostile Indians north of the Ohio will be held at Lower Sandusky, about the first of June next. That deeming the continuance of the Treaty it is of the highest importance to the success thereof as well as to the Safety of the Commissioners, that all hostile incursions of the White inhabitants into, or near to the Indian Country north of the Ohio, should be absolutely prohibited, until after the Treaty be closed. The commanding general of the Troops has been directed to issue a proclamation to this effect, and the President requests that you would be pleased to take such measures as the [undecipherable] with your frontier citizens, and as shall in your judgment be most effectual to prevent a measure which might be attended with highly pernicious consequences. I am Sir your Humble Servant H. Knox Governor St. Clair.
