Camp near Seneca, August 18. On the 12th instant Col.
Williamson came to Tomawsey, where he saw signs of Indians
very fresh; upon which he detached Capts. Perkins and
Anderson with 60 men to track them down and reconnoitre, and
Major Downes went out with 20 men. . . [16 more lines
describing encounter] The forwardest of their party being
entirely surrounded, were mostly cut off; 16 were found dead
in one valley, where the battle ended, whom our men scalped,
but did not look any farther, as, being near sunset, they
were called off by beat of drum. . . [21 more lines
describing battle in more detail.]
