Letter from Isaac Shelby to Henry Knox, 10 February 1794

Description
In his 10 February 1794 letter, Shelby informs Knox that two more people have been killed by Southern Indians since his last letter. He expects attacks by the Creek and Chicamauga as soon as the winter breaks. Again, he requests powers to raise men and defend the state. He calls for large number of influential officers to accompany the expedition.
