"Lancaster, 27th December, 1763, P. M. 

 ''Honoured Sir: I am to acquaint your Honour that between two 

 and three of the clock this afternoon, upwards of a hundred armed men, 

 r^^c! 1^"'^^^''^^^' ^^^^ ^^^y fast into Town, turned their horses into 

 Mr. Sloughs (an Lm-keeper) yard, and proceeded with the greatest pre- 

 cipitation to the Work House, stove open the door and killed all the 

 Indians, and then took to their horses and rode off, all their business was 

 done and they were returning to their horses before I could get half 

 way down to the Work House; the Sheriff and Coroner, however, and 

 several others, got down as soon as the rioters, but could not prevail 

 with them to stop their hands; some people say they heard them declare 

 they would proceed to the Province Island, and destroy the Indiaxis
