Noted as a copy. Reports on conversation he had with an old acquaintance regarding the settlers' opinions about Knox's lands being surveyed. His friend says the settlers are determined to butcher the Ulmer's, Houston, and Wilson with bayonets. Also reports the settlers had 60 to 70 men out on Sunday and the settlers expect to receive information the next time Ulmer's party goes. Says the settlers swore revenge against Wilson who they say abused the prisoners. Reports on several incidences where the insurgent have threaten other settlers at gun point for not joining them.
