UNITED STATES, December 13, 1791.
Gentlemen of the Senate and of the House of Representatives:
It is with great concern that I communicate to you the information received from Major General St. Clair of the misfortune which have befallen the troops under his command.
Although the national loss is considerable according to the scale of the event, yet it may be repaired without great difficulty, excepting as to the brave men who have fallen on the occasion, and who are a subject of public as well as private regret.
A further communication will shortly be made of all such matters as shall be necessary to enable the Legislature to judge of the future measures which it may be proper to pursue.
Go. WASHINGTON.
