To Mr. Jonas Green, at Annapolis. Frederick-town, July 19,
1763.
Every day, for some time past, has offered the melancholy
scene of poor distressed families driving downwards, through
this town, with their effects, who have deserted their
plantations, for fear of falling into the cruel hands of our
savage enemies, now daily seen in the woods. . . [26 lines]
We were so sensible of the importance of the Conococheague
settlement, both as a bulwark and supply to this
neighbourhood, that on repeated notice of their growing
distress, Captain Butler, on Wednesday last, called the Town
Company together, who appeared under arms on the Court-House
green, with great unanimity. --Just as the drum beat To
Arms, we had the agreeable satisfaction of seeing a waggon,
sent up by his Excellency. . . loaded with powder and lead.
