Description
Acknowledges letter of Sept. 27; regrets the mischief done by the enemy during the summer; God has moved the Caghanueege or French Praying Indians to refuse to join the French against New England, thus ruining their whole project; all possible means are used here to obstruct incursions against New England; the Indians that fired upon the scouts were probably stragglers that had been at Haverill; Martin Kellogg will be taken care of if he should come into these parts; all means will be used for the exchange of McElvan[ill]s daughter.
