[Colonel Washington's account of action against the French
at the Great Meadows near Monongahela: engagement, French
call parley, agreement that both sides withdraw.]
Accordingly the next morning, with our drums beating, and
our colours flying, we began our march in good order, with
the stores, &c. in convoy; but we were interrupted by the
arrival of a reinforcement of one hundred Indians, among the
French, who were hardly restrained from attacking us, and
did us considerable damage. . .
