| Description: | This document is a letter written on June 9, 1803, by Tennessee Governor Archibald Roane (1801-1803) to Secretary of War Henry Dearborn. Roane informs Dearborn that bandits have been attacking travellers on a road in Tennessee Roane offers some suggestions to insure the safety of the travellers, including offering a reward to induce the Indians to help catch the culprits. It is not known if the bandits are Indians, white men, or both, but Roane expresses concern that if it were discovered that the bandits are from an Indian nation, relations between the Indians and whites in the region would deteriorate.
