Title
Additional woodsmen requested
Description
Major Thomas Doyle, commanding officer at Fort Massac, informs General James Robertson that several men at his garrison are sick, and so he is unable to track the movements of the Indians in his quarter, which requires about "fifteen or twenty woodsmen." Requests that he sends a sufficient number for a few weeks, arguing that "it is for the public good."
