Philadelphia, Dec. 22.  Extract of a letter dated Fort-Pitt,
Nov. 4, 1781.
I am glad of this opportunity to give you an account of the
taking of the three Moravian Indian congregations.
. . . [2 columns describing English inspired removal of
Moravian Indian congregations, including the following:]
The Wiondats immediately began to kill their hogs and
cattle, and destroyed every thing in their way.  All night
they danced the war dance and make a most shocking noise.
