2309 - L. June 21; ed: 2/2 - "The State of Kentucky will undoubtedly be-
come purified after a while under the manifold afflictions of guerrillas.
There are a balf dozen bands of prowlers in different parts of the
State, whose business it seems to be to pillage upon the inhabitants.
Kentucky Negroes are being rapidly enlisted, and after a while that
would be chivalric State will have defenders. At present, there seems
to be neither spirit, nor loyalty enough among her population, to drive
out bands of land pirates. How soon they would be captured if in the
State of Ohio!" - (2)
