Title
Peace Efforts Are Futile, Etc.
Description
Wayne discusses the supplies that have arrived as well as those that are still needed, especially in the hospital. The accused deserters have been tried by Court Martial and appropriate punishments meted out. He repeats his belief that peace efforts are futile and that the only effective means of controlling the Indians is by force.

he [Mr. Hewitt] mentioned that whist he was with the Indians they expressed an anxiety for a Hostile interiew & that nothing prevented them from committing depredations but a full expectation of our advance into their country--that they affect to hold us in the utmost contempt for offering to treat of peace with a people who neither want or wish for it
