Extract of a letter from Ticonderoga, July 31. . . [report
of Sir William Johnson's siege of the fort at Niagara]  Upon
the return of our troops to General Johnson with the
prisoners, he immediately had sent a flag of truce with a
drum, in to our camp, and found it but too true; and
immediately on the Officer's return to the fort, the French
Commander offered to capitulate, provided General Johnson
would permit the garrison to march out with all the honours
of war. . .
