Indian country—‘‘ the savages may expect to feel the resent- 
ment of injured Americans. The blood of the innocent cries 
for vengeance.’’ As soon as the British receive reinforcements 
at New York, ‘the scene will open.”’ Vol. vi, No.’91. 
PARSONS, SAMUEL H. (Gen.): 
1779.—/une 10. Camp at Smith's Tavern.—Complaint by one of
