an Indian, Seabatis Lewy stated to me that the first councilman told at the TownShip that before he left Calais he went & saw the man that Struck him & asked him the reason he done it. The man Ses he was hired to do it by whom ask the Representative, ask the Representative.

22nd Governor John Francis was here, saw Mr Fuller, & that Mr Fuller told him his Father was not a regular Soldier, therefore he could not get anything, but the Indians were called upon by Capt. Smith, & the old man got Pension money one or two years before he died, & died when he was about 99 & this Son is a trying to get the amount that Should have been payed to him before his death, & if it could be [?] at, the old man Should have it, because he is poor & cannot go out hunting. He ses if he could he would not ask it, & if you could ever help him that way drop me a letter that I may read it to him. If John Gabriel is taken I think now I Should not wish to go his bail to his appearance to Court because I have expend for them all I can, now for a time your Excellency can do it.

Yours Very Truly, D. Gordon
