Military response to Whiskey Rebellion

Informs the Governor of Pennsylvania that a detachment of U.S. troops under the command of Lieutenant Daniel Bissell is to march from Philadelphia to a gathering of artillery and military stores, intended for the Maryland and Virginia militia. This military action is in response to the Whiskey Rebellion. This detachment will march through Lancaster and York town, and from there to Williamsport, Maryland. Requests that the governor give instructions to Alexander Russell, commanding officer of the militia at York, to furnish a reinforcement from his militia to the said escort if Lieutenant Daniel Bissell should think it necessary.
