Title
On the forming of settlements by French
Description
Reports on the forming of settlements on the Ohio River, within lands contracted by Mr. Cutler and Mr. Sargent, Chevalier Bui de Boulogne, Monsieur de Parth, and Monsieur de Thiebaud. Mentioned how the notices of "incursions of the savages on the western frontiers" have frightened them, and they are now seeking protection from the government. Stated protection of frontier settlements is important due to its role in protecting national boundaries and serving U.S. citizens. Knox instructed Harmar to provide protection for each settlement.
