Original copy from 1792 of Columbian Centinel. Contains an article titled "Agreeable Intelligence, (If True.)," which is one man's account of 3 spies being directed to a Native American encampment for intelligence. Once informed, General Scott divided his troop into 3 divisions who then attacked them by surprise and thus were victorious in defeating the Native Americans and re-obtaining U.S. provisions, stores, cattle, etc. that were previously stolen.

Autograph note by Harrison framed together with an etched portrait. Black wooden frame with gilt rule. Letter states: "Greenville 19th July 1795.
