Title
Commanding officer at Fort Le Boeuf
Description
Letter from Governor Arthur St. Clair of Northwest Territory, regarding the post which has been established at Le Boeuf by the state of Pennsylvania, which St. Clair believes is of critical importance. The present commanding officer there is a "prudent Man, and a good officer." St. Clair is worried that the command will soon go to Captain William Miller, who is "strongly in the Interest of the Insurgents" (Whiskey rebels). There are a considerable quantity of military stores there, and pieces of artillery.
