Summary:Informing him that even if it was the intention "either of the Legislature or Executive to carry on offensive operations against the Indians at this time, which is very far from being the case, our being totally without money would effectually put it out of our power. The Executive therefore recommend to the Citizens on our Frontiers to use every means in their power for preserving a good understanding with the savage Tribes and to strike no blow until compelled by necessity."
