General Washington discusses Colonel Bowman's apprehension regarding British progress with General Brodhead, stationed at Fort Pitt, Pennsylvania.

Daniel Brodhead settled in Monroe County, Pennsylvania in 1737. He was the grandson of Daniel Brodhead and Ann Tye.

General Washington refers to previous correspondence with General Brodhead, known for leading several military expeditions against Native Americans.

This is a letter dated June 24, 1778 from Colonel Daniel Brodhead, commander of the 8th Pennsylvania Regiment, to General Lachlan McIntosh, commander of the Western Department.

Washington notes that supplies, communications and other hazards make any operation difficult and orders Brodhead to make preparation for a joint expedition. Brodhead did pacify Indians along the Alleghany, 1779-1780.

In addition to discussing the court martials of Capt. Thomas Beal, Peter Davis and David Gamble, Washington also mentions his hopes to attack Detroit, thoughts on Virginia and his need for provisions.
