There is not much heed to be given to Indian Testimony, yet when circumstances and Artificial arguments confirm what they say, it becometh an impartial Historian to take notice thereof, nor is it to be doubled but the loss of the enemy was greater then those Captives taken by our Forces abroad did acknowledge.

Whatever the victory or success of that engagement might be, it was the Lords doing, and let him alone have all the Giory.
