Captain Randolph, to James Seagrove Colerain Station 30^th June 1792 Sir, This day [after our scout went out] M^r. M^cDonald arrived from the nation, he informed me that he saw some Indians on the path. He first said that they were six miles and afterwards that they were twenty miles from the station. Immediately sent out seven men in order to discover their trail, they took it, and fell in with the Indians near Spanish back, one of the Indians on coming up to them, snapt his gun at M^r. Still [who was one of the party] without his piece from him, our people then charged on them and killed them all four in number, without loosing a man, they got five excellent horses from them which in counted much — Alexander Young boy and M^r. Wright was here todays. they want to take possession of Beilhead [undecipherable], they have but their own I think it will be necessary to send a Serjeant and ten men more to assist them — they are in want of ammunition, but am afraid I cannot spare them any. I am &^c John T Randolph
