behaved with a modest civility, far exceeding my
expectation from military characters. The enter-

and, at the conclusion, they begged leave to drink
a toast; which, out of complaisance, they dispensed

our lodgings. He told us he was taken prisoner by
the Indians, out of Russell county in Virginia. Here
came also, James Henry, a smart young man, a pri-

father lived when she was taken. We have met
with divers others, whose cases excite sympathy
and concern, and to which attention has been paid;
but we thought it most prudent not to make strenuous
