Summary
Concerning Indian hostilities; saying "...the Indians have renew'd their Hostilities. They have not as usual made any previous Complaint, and various Conjectures are therefore made of the Cause. Some think it is merely to secure their Hunting Countries, which they apprehend we mean to take from them by Force and turn them into Plantations, tho' this Apprehension is without Ground;" suggesting other possibilities for the hostilities; asking him for news of "the true State of Things" in England.
