Title
Regarding passports held by state governors
Description
Informs Colonel Butler that no passports from state governors shall divert him from resisting the invasion of Indian lands by those bodies. McHenry insists that if they actually hold a passport, it was likely obtained under false pretenses with intention to violate the laws of the United States, and therefore all passports should be disregarded.
