Niagara 10^th July, 1793. My dear Sir, I wish you would cause the [undecipherable] to be lodged in the [post?] office [undecipherable] as often [undecipherable] account to [undecipherable] [undecipherable] I cannot help making an observation or two relative to appearances here, which may not be fully explained or exposed in our public communications. At our former meetings with the delegates from the tribes assembled in Council at the mouth of the Miami, great numbers of people attended the hearing; among others, many were from the United States; [undecipherable] when wound up the council [undecipherable] of [undecipherable] to write in the idea that [undecipherable] would be [undecipherable] put up, they are too [sanguine?] in their expectations. I hope they are not, however that may be, such a [patience?] will [prove?] for many of our people are on their return, and will doubtless give their opinions on the [face?] of matters. It becomes therefore [undecipherable] of [undecipherable], more importance than ever, that no movements of our army [forward] [undecipherable] and [destroy?] the [undecipherable] all appearances of things. — For after the people are once [pledged?] with the hope of peace, they will not be easily [balked?] [undecipherable] of any [undecipherable]. In the mean time, they [forward?] [undecipherable] the principal [undecipherable] of [undecipherable] the [undecipherable] hope, that [we were not quite terminated?]. If the reports which [undecipherable] from different [quarters?] are in any degree true, General Wayne may have violated the [chief?] principles of [truce?]. Certainly we are expected but from the nature of all the [transactions?] of the United States, they are bound themselves to [be?] bound by the laws, as established by the [undecipherable] [undecipherable]. The commissioners could not have [promised?] to [undecipherable] any hope of [undecipherable] [security?], but [undecipherable] such a [bluff?]. For if there is no truce existing, they are just throwing themselves into the hands of the Savages at open [undecipherable] war.— The commissioners are not so apprehensive for themselves, as for the success of the United States; and the [success?] of their mission. If then the present treaty, in this stage of it, should be broken up by the movements of our army, by the advancement of stores, other than those necessary for the [several?] Garrisons, by cutting roads, or by any Military transaction against the laws of war, our country will be highly irritated, and the blame will fall some where: is it not on the President, you know.— The eyes of our country, as well as the eyes of our neighbours, are upon you. [Adieu?] believe me, &c— [Subject war]
