"If the report respecting Major Hamtramck be near the truth, that he had destroyed four of the Indian villages, and all their provisions, and had returned without the loss of a man, the success will then have been as complete as it could have been wished: and the first news we shall hear from the Indians, will be an humble supplication for peace: Should that, however, not happen soon, I will find means to let them know, that it will not be refused them if they desire it on reasonable terms."
