Major M'LEMoRE: Dear Sir !: We
have remained here the whole time
since you left US, and were attacked on
the 18th of April, at the dawn of day,
by large body Of Indians; since
which time, we have been surrounded
by them, almost continually, & have
had upwards OF 20 fights with them,
and have had only 2 of our men killed
Eli Sely on the 18Th of April, and
Captain HolIeman, on the Sd of May,
and 5 others slightly wounded. The
loss Of the Indians, l think, is Is or 20
killed. Ga the 18th April we had an
engagement with 400 or 500 Indians,
which lasted 2 hours and AS minutes,
during which time, they got possession
of our flat, which drifted down the riv.
er, and was destroyed by them. So
we have no means of getting away
from here, without relief from some
source, as we have not man with
us who knows the geography Of this
country.
We are entirely out Of every neces
sary of life, except corn and water, and
know not when to look for relief, as
the time which you appointed has e.
lapsed, by 10 or IL days,and we have
not heard or seen any thing of the ar
my /; or any other person, except Pow
clips yelling devils, g. their yells would
have been silenced long agoif we had
men enough, for you may rest assured,
sir, that there are some fighting souls
here. Poor fellows, it is great pity
that they should ever starve- for they
have fought well.
The sending this express is full of
danger, and has been delayed on that
account, hoping that the boat might
come to our relief, till we have given it
out. am under the belief that Gen.
Scott wrote to you that he would come
and get the corn which you brought
here for the army, and relieve US him
self; this is perhaps the cause of the
long delay of the boat; but, sir, we are
here suffering, and hope you will come
or send some person to our assistance
as soon as possible.
Yours, very respectfully,
