But on the other hands, there has been a Gentleman in the Town within a day or two past, but whom I did not see, who says he left Fort Washington - after the return of General Wilkinson; which must have been after the 20 of June; <sup> and about the first of July </sup> who says the accounts from the Indian Country were favorable by the return of some of the messengers via the Wabash - I hope in God the information of Trueman be not true - I have not divulged this report here and I request you would keep it to yourself for the present. Since writing the foregoing I have received your favor of the 27<sup>th</sup> instant I am persuaded that your arrangements of Scouts is formed on just principles. I am glad to learn that Captain Hendricks has proceeded Westward; I sincerely hope the others will also go - But they are so slow and dilatory as to exhaust all patience. I believe Captain Brant will be at the Council at Au Glaize by the 20 of the present Month at furthest. General Israel Chapin is the Deputy Agent to the five Nations - I believe that no attempts ought to be made to retain the Indians contrary to his request.- The Corn planters judgment ought to be conclusive on this head.
