XXXIV – 118 Falls of Schuylkill 13 Oct 1793 Col. Sargent from Genl Knox

I received my clear Sargent your (9484) favor of the 28th of the last month. In all human probabil- ity Congress will meet in Philadelphia. The disorder is gone, and unless it should return again, which it is considered it cannot do but unless the aid of hot weather, confidence will be soon restored as to the health of the City. It is of importance that this sore calamity should be healed immediately or all the American commerce will be injured in foreign countries. Nothing will contribute more to the restoration of confidence than that Congress should tranquilly perform it[s] opera[-] tions there. I enclose you a letter from Fort — Washington. The Army marched from the Ohio in the 7th of Oct, with about 3000 volunteers, and an expectation of more. They are too late but I suppose they will not go far, that will depend upon circumstances. Yours affectionately, [G]K Col [ ]
