Writes to confirm he has asked Mr. Stedman the questions Knox mentioned, adding that he wrote on the subject because Mr. Stedman would be delayed in his return to Philadelphia. Explains that Mr. Stedman has information about a conflict between Indians and a Captain Elliott, formerly of Fort Pitt. Adds that Mr. Stedman is a good man, and that Knox should trust his information, though he left Detroit before the end of the action, so his story may not be complete.
