(Like the preceding, this can be seen in the Jefferson Papers.) Clark was present in Dunmore's camp at the time.

He says: "Logan's speech to Dunmore now came forward as related by Mr.Jefferson and was generally believed and indeed not doubted to have been genuine and dictated by Logan.

The Army knew it was wrong so far as it respected Cresap, and afforded an opportunity of rallying that Gentleman on the subject--I discovered that Cresap was displeased and told him that he must be a very great Man, that the Indians shouldered him with every thing that had happened....

Logan is the author of the speech as related by Mr.
Jefferson." Clark's remembrance of his rallying Cresap shows that the speech contained Cresap's name and that it was read before the army; several other witnesses, whose names are not necessary to mention, simply corroborate Clark's statements, and a large amount of indirect evidence to the same effect could be produced, were there the least necessity.

(See Jefferson's Notes, "The American Pioneer," etc., etc.) The evidence against the authenticity of the speech, outside of mere conjectures and inuendoes, is as follows: (1) Logan called Cresap a colonel when he was really a captain.
