Title
Delay of Movements by the Legion
Description
Knox instructs Wayne that, due to a postponement of the treaty negotiations, it is necessary to postpone any movements by the Legion that might be interpreted by the Indians as a sign of aggression. Although it will be necessary also to delay any deployment of auxiliary forces, it is still essential to make whatever preparations are needed to be ready to march should the treaty negotiations fail.
