supposes he was mistaken in stating7as he has done 

 before from memory, that the offer of the exchange 

 was proposed in the letter ; that it is probahle it was 

 only promised him by Logan, but not put in the let- 

 ter ; while he was with the old woman, she repeated- 

 ly endeavoured to make him sensible that she had 

 been of the party at Yellow creek, and, by signs, 3 

 showed how they decoyed her friends over the river 

 to drink, and when they were reeling and tumbling 

 about, tomahawked them all, and that whenever she 

 entered on this subject she was thrown into the most 

 violent agitations, and that he afterwards understood 

 that, amongst the Indians killed at Yellow Creek, 

 was a sister of Logan, very big with child, whom 

 they ripped open, and stuck on a pole: that he con- 

 tinued with the Indians till the month of November, 

 when he was released in consequence of the peace 

 made by them with Lord Dunmore : that, while he 

 remained with them, the Indians in general were 

 very kind to him ; and especially those who were 

 his adopted relations; but above all, the old woman 

 and family in which he lived, who served him with 

 every thing in their power, and never asked, or even 

 suffered him to do any labour, seeming in truth to 

 consider and respect him, as the friend they had lost. 

 All which several matters and things, so far as they 

 are stated to be of his own knowledge, this subscrib- 

 er solemnly declares to be true, and so far as they 

 are stated on information from others, he believes 

 them to be true. Given and declared under his hand 

 at Philadelphia, this 28th day of February, 1800.
