[undecipherable] War department, September 6. 1794 Sir I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 29 Ultimo to the Secretary at War, who is yet absent, and which have been submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury. He directed me to inform you, that as there is no positive arrangement at present for a permanent augmentation of forces to the garrison [at] Fort Fayette, the erecting of additional barracks therein, as suggested in your letter, is a matter that must be governed by existing circumstances on the spot. If the proceedings at [undecipherable] shall indicate a restoration of peace and good order among the frontier inhabitants of Pennsylvania, it may be postponed, but, if the reverse, you will, after taking the opinion and receiving the approbation of [Lieut?] Col. Butler, cause to be built, barracks capable of containing an additional number of One Hundred Men, on the most economical plan — I am Sir, with great respect Your ob'd Serv't [undecipherable] Major Isaac Craig Pittsburg
