Title
Ration Shortages, Fort and Road-Building in Indian Lands, and Expectation of Further Action by British & Indians.
Description
Notes continuing ration shortages. Describes Legion activities in last several weeks, consisting of improving fortification at Fort Defiance and cutting a wagon road between it and a new fort at "the Miami villages," Fort Miamis. Cannot explain the inaction of the British and Indians, supposing that they are perhaps waiting for reinforcements, but surmises that the British will be hard-pressed to support the entirety of the Indian confederacy, now that it is homeless.
