Stephen Moylan to General Wooster

v4:1515

Cambridge February 27, 1776.

SIR: I have it in command from his Excellency General Washington to acquaint you that the Indians, who were lately here from Canada, are very much dissatisfied that Mr˙ St˙ Luke, La Corne, is suffered to be at liberty; he is, by all accounts, a dangerous person, therefore, think it will be better for our own safety, and to quiet the minds of the Indians, to have that gentleman sent out of that Province. Your compliance herewith will be pleasing to his Excellency, and he is strongly of opinion will be of very great service to the American cause.

I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient, humble servant, STEPHEN MOYLAN, P˙ T˙ S.

To General Wooster.
