Pittsburg 12th June 1795
Sir,
I have received your Letter of the 8th Instant.
All the Military Stores that was in Possession of the late Western Army under the command of Gent Morgan is already removed from the Encampment & deposited in Fort Fayette except such Articles as were absolutely necessary for two Companies of Infantry & one of Cavalry that are retained in Service — a part of these men are under Inoculation for the small Pox, as soon as they are recovered, which will be in a few days the remaining Stores will be transported to this Post.
On the Evening of the 8th Instant Ensign Peyton with forty six fine Recruits arrived from Winchester & next morning embarked for Fort Washington.
Mr Anthony Foster of Nashville having waited there several days for the Indian Goods intended for the Chicasaws a part of which having arrived are delivered to him together with four sets of Plough Irons, the powder lead & flints agreeable to your Order & one Thousand and thirty five Buffalo Blankets to make up a deficiency of that number that appears intended for those Indians, which I presume with some other Articles are still on the Road but comes too late for the present Opportunity of Conveyance. An Invoice of the several Articles delivered Mr Foster is enclosed herewith.
I am with great respect
Sir, your
