I am sorry to inform you since my last Letter that a man was killed by a party of Indians in his Corn field about seven miles from my house on Thursday last, also a Boat was taken about Eight or Ten miles above Limestone where five persons was found killed on the shore - I think we need no greater proof of the intentions of those Savage Barbarians to distress us.
