Fort Fidius July 15^th 1793 Sir, I have the pleasure of informing you that no recent depredations have been committed by the Savages and I hope that the frontiers will enjoy peace. The last accounts of hostilities being committed by the Indians I received from General Twiggs on the 8^th ult^o who informed that three families to the amount of 30 had been killed in the upper parts of the State, not far distant from Fort Mathews. I have very strong reasons for doubting the veracity of this report. There is no talk of it in the Country and Lieutenant Bird who has just been relieved from Fort Mathews knew nothing of it. The Militia are not yet discharged; the whole of the frontiers are lined with them. I have been informed that a party of Militia are to set off this day for the Creek nation, and are to cross at the old fording place above the mouth of Shoulderbone, but it so great a secret that I cannot hear who is to command them. I have the honor to be Ye Signed Henry Gaither. Major Command^t
