notable phrase
If the most strenuous and early steps are not taken to confound [the Shawanese chiefs'] design, I fear they will be attended with the most dangerous consequences to the frontiers of the United States... Since General Bowles was judaised by the Spaniards he has had his letters and papers in possession which the Spaniards and Panton have taken every method, both of bribe and entreaty, to get from him but all their efforts have been in vain.
