From Andrew Ellicott (unpublished)
Baltimore Feby. 19th 1788
Sir

From the Face of the Map we returned to the Supreme Executive Council last December of the Country thro’ which was passed with the Northern Boundary of the State, it appears plain that the situation of several places demands the attention of the Legislature. The first is at the Mouth of the Conawango River; the second at the Mouth of French-Creek where the old Nenango Fort stood; and the third at the head of the Navigable Water of French Creek at Fort Le Beuf. It is probable that the House of Assembly may want some particular information relative to the situation of those plans and the surrounding Country. I intend being in Philadelphia some time next week, and if required shall with pleasure make such Communications as have fell within my knowledge. I have the Honour to be Sir Your Humble Servant
