To day I detacht 7
men of my company to go in the artelery under the command of Cap. Jones. Went
out to walk round to see the land; could see where the Indians used to carry
our people in order to burn. I am told great numbers of them have been caried
there to suffer to satisfie their insatiate loue of blood & cruelty. At
night we followed the old custom of drinking to wives & swetthearts.
