[VERBATIM.]

Cunninghamburgh 28 July 1794.

Sir,

Having had suspicions that the Pittsburgh post would carry with him the sentiments of some of the people of this country, respecting our present alarming situation and the letters by the post being now in our possession by which certain secrets are discovered hostile to our Interest. It is therefore now come to that crisis that every citizen must express his sentiments not by his words but by his actions—You then called upon as a citizen of the western country to render your personal service with as many volunteers as you can raise to rendezvous at your usual place of meeting on Wednesday next. And from thence you will march to the General rendezvous at Braddock's field on the Monongahela River on Friday the first day of August next to be there at 9 o'clock P. M. with arms and accoutrements in good order. If any volunteer should want arms and accoutrements bring them forward, and they shall be supplied as well as possible. Here Sir is an expedition purposed in which you will have an opportunity of displaying your military talents and of rendering services to your country.

Four days provisions will be wanted let the men be thus supplied—

We are &c.

NO CANNON
B. PARKISON
D. BRADFORD
A. FULTON
THOMAS SPEARE
JNO. LOUGHRY
JAMES MARSHALL
with others

Upon receiving some late Intelligence from our runners we have been informed the ammunition we were about to seize and put into the hands of the citizens is designed for Genl. Scott who is just going out against the Indians we therefore conclude not to touch it—

I give you this early notice that your brave sons of war need not to turn out till further notice

Yours &c.

DAVID BRADFORD
