July 7. A small party of our Indians having some English with them, took and killed seven of the Enemy in the Woods beyond Ded•am, whereof one was a petty Sachem. The two Indians which were then taken Prisoners, say that many of their men who were sent to Albany for a supply of Powder, were set upon in the way by the Mohawks, and killed. It is certain, that about this time, some of those Indians who are in Hostility against the English (amongst whom the Sachem of Springfield Indians, was one) came to Albany, to buy powder, and that they might effect their design, they lied and said, that now they had made peace with the English, and desired Powder only to go an hunting in the Woods: we hear, that the other Indians ⟨image ?⟩were is desirous to have slain them, but the Governor of New-York secured them, and gave notice to the Council at Hartford: since that we have intelligence that many of our enemies, yea and such as have been not••••s Murderers, are fed for refuge to those about Albany.
