The Express brought with him a War Club,, and a note which was left tied to it at the house of o?ie Robertson ^ vohosefamily were cut off by the Indians, and gave rise for the application to Col, Preston^ of which the following is a copy, then taken by me in my memorandum book, '^ Captain Cresap, " What didyou kill my people on Tellow Creek ^'forf The white people killed my kin, at Cones" toga^ a great while ago ; and I thought nothing ^'' of that. But you killed my kin again ^ on TeU C 13 D ^^ low'Creek, and took my Cousin Prisoner. Then ' / thought I must kill too ; and I ha^oe been three ^' times to war since ; but the Indians are not an- ' gry: only myself* '^Captain JOHN LOGAN:' July 2ift, 1774.
