It is hard to suppose (though it may not be impossible) that any person would be villainous enough to forge them, merely to spread an alarm. And if they are well founded, it would be a fatal mistake, to defer making preparations, until the Indians commenced depredations. The retentions of the frontier posts by the British, and the movements of the Indians, seem pregnant with dangers to the confederation.
