A Declaration by the Fellowships Committee, 18 March 1986

266 The Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine Buds and Roots, and the like; three Cherokee Indians found me about two miles from Fort Lyttleton, cut me a Staff; and Piloted me to the Fort. In conversation with the Indians during by Captivity, they informed me that they were all Delawares, for they mostly all. Spake English, one spake as good English as I can. The Captain said he had been at Philadelphia last Winter, and another said he had been at Philadelphia about a year ago; I ask'd them if they were not going to make Peace with the English? The Captain answered, and said they were talking about it when he was in Philadelphia last Winter, but he went away and left them. RICHARD BAIRD.
