Title
Communication from the Officer Commanding Fort Massac
Description
"Brigadier General Wilkinson has the honor to transmit Major General Hamilton an original communication from the officer commanding Fort Masac near the mouth of the Ohio River which appears to him to merit some attention. He sends the original because the retention of it is important to the Brigadier and may be most properly deposited with the Major General. The debauch and consequent absence of the Brigadier's clerk since Saturday prevents his offering a short report to Major General Hamilton this morning which he regrets. No condition shall be omitted to accomplish the object in the course of tomorrow."
