Its believed that ye ffrench Cap" who attacked Schanacktede is one of them and Lamberville w^^ some more noted persons, therefore this is of great import, wee have sent to ye Schackcooke Indians also to be ready & resolute, this day to double o^ guards & place Capn Johnsons men wdthout y^ towne at Renslaers mill. Wee have ordered the Maquaes to send out a band of men to ye Lake, to waite and watch if any motions should be made by ye ffrench. Lamentable it is that the Maryland & New England fforces do not come, so yt it is impossible to Know y^ time of marcking, unless we go without them.
