Camp Rascal August the 3d. 1823.
I this morning start an express to you informing you that we
have discovered a party of Caroncowas at the bay we have no
powder and does not feel our selves altogether safe to attack them in
our present fix, if you would come down and join us with a party
of your men immediately I think we would be able to give them a
good drubbing and clear them out from our Coast as soon as our
powder comes on we shall go and spye them out and know where
their place of Resorts is so that if you come down with a party you
need not be detained long—for particulars enquire of the berer of
this dispatch.
