Extract of a letter from Fort Frederick, St. John's River,
March 10, 1759. The 5th of March Lieut. Hazzen, of the
Rangers, came in from a scout of 15 days, with a party of 16
rangers, up the River St. John's; he brought in with him six
French scalps, and six prisoners. Lieut. Hazzen reports,
that he has been to St. Ann's, which is 140 miles up this
river, from Fort Frederick, where it was expected he would
have found a strong garrison of the enemy; but on his
arrival he found the town vacated, which he set fire to,
burnt a large mass-house with a bell of 300 lb., a large
storehouse, and many valuable buildings. . .
