[editor’s note: text right] War Department Nov. 30. 1793 [editor’s note: text right] Sir Your letter of the 22d instant, has been received and its enclosures __ I wish the news you transmitted of General Waine & victory was true, but the same report was brought probably by the same channeld ten days ago. I understand the waggons arrived safely __ but that a Captain Boyd, I supose of the vo= lunteers, Lieut. Lowrey, and thirteen privates were killed. I have however no official account __ From your letters it appears that both majors Cass and Winston have left Pittsburg. Capt. Cawford must then descend the Ohio with the charge which will be delivered him by Colonel Mentges. Let there be no delay on your part. I enclose a packet for General Wayne, which you will forward with all speed by some safe con= veyances __ [editor’s note: each line starts where the former line ended] I am Sir Your humble Servant [editor’s note: text right] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [editor’s note: text left] Major Craig
