Neptune -

[arrow down right] There is no question of the firm belief of Clara Neptune in the ability of her grand-father-in-law to do magic. She says he "could do most anything" and freely bears out all Leland's Notements [?]. She says he got from the Mickamacks. Maria Sauhees says from the Chippewas. Clara says he troubled many, "been all around, got a child most every place" "Says [?] good for nothin now, cant do it now. Cause det Cat'lic."

[arrow down right] There seems a probability that it was John Neptune who by adultery with Alteau's [?] wife broke up the tribe and started old & new factions. Williamson refers to the trouble, Charles W. Dillingham all but [two underlined] says it. It is borne out by Neptune's character & actions. This would account for his going away for years to westward.

Letter - Williamson in Mass. Hist Coll. says [underlined] it plainly.
