From George Washington to John Deane, 13 August 1756

To John Deane

[Winchester, 13 August 1756]

To the Officer commanding at Kuykendalls Fort;1
Sir,

Be particularly careful and expeditious in forwarding all Expresses; communicating all remarkable intelligence to the adjacent Forts, affording Escorts to all convoys and parties—if the general good may be promoted, or the public benefited thereby. Encourage agriculture and industry; and protect and guard the people at their daily labour; which is the chief end and design of your being there. I am &c.

G:W.

Winchester August 13, 1756.

LB, DLC:GW.

1. On 5 Aug. 1756 GW instructed Thomas Waggener to send part of Capt. David Bell’s company under the command of Ens. John Deane to Kuykendal’s to protect the people in that area.
