[Extract from Letter of Secretary Knox, dated War Office, 16th January, 1790, to General
Harmar. From transcript by L. C. Draper, in library of Wisconsin Historical Society—Draper
MSS., 2W177.]

(Private)

Sir: In addition to my letter to you on the subject of exploring the
country & waters on which you were to consult the Governor of the
Western Territory, that the party employed on that business should be
habited like Indians, in all respects, and on no pretence whatever discover
any connection with the troops. Of course they will not take any
written orders with them.
