Boldly-penned ALS signed “Anty. Wayne,” one page, 7.75 x 7.25, March 1, 1793. Wayne writes from Head Quarters in Legionville, in full: “You will please to order an Infantry Detachment Court martial to hear & try the Merits of the enclosed complaint, agreeably to the 11th Section & 2nd Article of the rules & articles of War—for redressing wrongs.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, light creasing, scattered toning and damp staining affecting appearance, a chip to the bottom edge, and two strips of reparative tape and mounting remnants to the reverse.
Washington appointed Wayne to command the newly-formed Legion of the United States in the campaign against the Northwest Indians between 1793 and 1794. Wayne established the training camp at Legionville, near present-day Baden, Pennsylvania, in 1792. Among those who served under him at Legionville were future president William Henry Harrison and transcontinental expedition-leader William Clark. The month after he wrote this letter, Wayne departed the camp with his men to begin the campaign against the Indians, which culminated in his victory at the Battle of Fallen Timbers the following year. A fine, rare letter from a Revolutionary War hero.
