Two interesting items are contained in this letter. First, England's sentence "I agree with You that the Reports of the Indians relative to the Army under General Wayne are too contradictory to make it any Object to Risk a a Vessel to Fort Erie at this late Season" implies that there is a military tensions that heretofore was absent between the Indians and the British.
