Washington writes that he had sent to Gen. McLean (commanding at Niagara) communications of Sir Guy Carleton including the proclamation of the King for the cessation of hostilities and a "New York newspaper, containing articles of general pacification between all belligerent parties." In closing Washington alludes to reports of problems at the Wyoming (Pa.) settlement, which he hopes are "without foundation."
