Summary
The Governor of Canada writes that he has heard rumors of a plan among the Five Nations and/or Skachtkook Indians to attack Christian settlements in New England, and asks if Pieter Schuyler has heard any similar news. He also states his desire to uphold the covenant made between the English and the Five Nations, and hopes that this sentiment may be communicated to them. Also contains a 2p. account of a council proceeding in New London in January 1699, which relates news from various English settlers and Indian scouts of suspicious activity among the Mohawk Indians and the potential for an Indian attack.
