SIR,
WHEREAS a report has been spread, That the Christian Indians, in New-Jersey, under my care, were many of them gone back to join the murdering Indians on the frontiers; this is to inform and assure the public, that such report is wholly without foundation; that these In- dians evidently discover a great abhorrence of the per- fidious and inhuman proceedings of their remote Savage brethren, and that there is not one of them missing, or that discover a contrary temper.
