Title

Wolcott's Absense Due to his Father's Illness, Etc.

Description

McHenry acknowledges the justication for Wolcott's absense while caring for his sick father. It appears that the arrangements made on the frontier have succeeded in quieting the Indians. Philadelphia is currently in a state of alarm due to the appearance of a contagious fever.
