[Copy] [Endorsement: Lre to Major Gen^l [undecipherable] / 10^th Octr / – 1794 / [undecipherable]] My dear Sir, Camp in the Vicinity of the Site of the Miami Villages, 10^th Octr [undecipherable]. I have the Honor to transmit you by this Conveyance, a duplicate of my Letter of the 31^st of August, since which nothing notable hath occurred, except it may be the regular & rapid declination of this Army; in [those] [Essentials?] of efficient operation; In that Letter I omitted a communication, which it was my duty & my intention to have made to you, and which I now beg leave to tres= =pass on your attention. — In the Postscript of my Letter of the 30^th June, I gave you the assurance, that General [undecipherable: probable reading "Scott"] should be immediately served with a transcript from such parts of that Letter, as personally respected himself; this intention was prescribed by the sensibility of an injured Soldier & the principles of an honest Man but on second thought a solicitude for the success of the Campaign paramount to every other consideration which [the success?] might depend on union and Concert in all Ranks, Suspended my purpose, which will be delayed until the General's tour of Service expires, when I shall most certainly fulfil my promiss, made to you, in the Letter to which I have reference — Should it be deemed in= expedient by the President or irreconcileable to the public Interests, to indulge me at this moment in the Enquiry which I have [implored?] from him, I beg leave at this time, to Solicit permission to pay my respects [to] him & to you Sir, in the month of December next, as my private & domestic concerns call my attention to Philadelphia, and the reduced & detached State of the Legion, will leave no Command for a Second Gen^l. Officer — I make this request to you, because I am apprehensive Major Gen^l Wayne may op= =pose my wishes, & I shall feel myself obli= =ged by your good offices on the occasion — The Gen^l. has surveyed his route but his prohibition bared me the use of his field notes, I may however from my personal observations assure you, that the Sketch which I forwarded to you, in May, is more correct than could be expected — I tendered the General a Copy of that Sketch, anterior to the march of the army, but he rejected it with great indiff[erence?], observing that He "had it already." — The Savages are mute and invincible; probably meditating future mischief, or listening to the seduction of M^r Simco, & his Coadjutor Macke[y?], [whose?] ascendency in all their plans & deliberations appears to be irresistible; I am fearful that [undecipherable] or [undecipherable]. with these Tribes depend upon [undecipherable] of the British, and that we cannot secure the former but Thro' their mediation, or by expelling them the national [Territory?], the first mode seems unadmittable, & the last [un=] seasonable — I am of opinion, should the British agents fail in their attempts to stimulate the Savages to a renewal of Hostilities in re= =spectable force, that they will endeavour to entice the Tribes of this Quarter, to Settle in some distant region of our Territory, or to withdraw beyond Lake [Erie?], to the River [Trench?] or the Country occupied by Brand[t?], in order to continue their tributary and to secure their Trade — I have the Honor to be My dear Sir Your &c &c. Gen^l. [Knox?] — J. W.
