War Department September 14th 1793 Sir No. 145 [light and faded] I received your’s of the 7th – I am glad you sent off the Commissioners letters instantly to to General Wayne. I hope Lieutenant Colonel Clark with all the troops I ordered him to take, have descended the Ohio. Let me know the state of the waters – If Lieutenant Read has not gone off, give him the enclosed. He must wait no longer than the arrival of Harleman with the money. A detachment will march from this city the 16th, and some other recruits from Maryland and Virginia, the whole may amount to one hundred and twenty. Boats must be provided for them, and the remainder of the Clothing, all of which not sent off by Lieutenant Read, must remain for this detachment. Remember to smoke all the clothing – agreeably to former orders.

              I am

                           Sir,

                                 Your Obedt Servant,

                                           Knox
