New York, July 2.  Extract of a letter from the Little
Falls, dated June 18, 1764.
. . . [17 lines on military operations]
Yesterday evening Sir W-----m set out for Niagara,
accompanied by his son-in-law, Mr. Guy Johnson, & John
Duncan, Esq: of Schenectady, with 30 of the chiefs and most
noted warriors of the lower caules of the Mohawks, who
insisted on accompanying Sir W----m's person in particular
in his voyage.  They sang war songs, and danced, taking Sir
W----m by the hand with the most convincing proofs of their
attachment.
