{"value"=>"An express has arrived from the inhabitants of Limestone telling of the murder of Col. Lewis and his company, and of others; an Indian war seems imminent; three nations from the Wabash are united against the settlers; asks his Honor for such assistance and instructions as will enable him to protect the frontier stations at least at Limestone and the Blue Lick that the salt works may go on; has received his Honor's order for 1000 weight of lead; powder and brimstone are needed also, and 100 stand of arms; they may be sent by way of Fort Pitt and Limestone; a small garrison is needed there; hopes the petition for a new state will not prevent their receiving assistance from the Government. In a postscript asks that the express Flanders Calaway be paid £10."}
