John Edmunds
to
Judge Innes
This morning was killed within six or seven miles of this place by the Indians, a certain Lewis Parker who was at his work, it will be unnecessary for me to say any thing more with respect to the murder as I have enclosed you an affidavit and as to the murder of two mine men I am satisfied of its certainty, but have had no opportunity of finding the man who was with them when they were killed, no other
who have since buried them, the names of the men were Mr.McBride and Mr.McConnell.
