Title
Peace Has Failed, But No Offensives Yet; Accountability of Contractors
Description
Though it looks as if the peace council has failed, it is still mandatory that no offensive operations against the Indians be undertaken north of the Ohio River. Friendly Indians, such as Wyandots and Delawares, should be welcomed although with a watchful eye. Contractors must be held responsible for defective or stale stores and magazines for their stores should be located near military posts and not at a distance simply for their convenience.
