Williamsburgh, (in Virginia) January 21. On Wednesday
arrived in this City from Fort Cumberland, a Party of the
Catawba Warriors, who have been some time with our forces on
the frontiers. On the 28th of December on their way down,
they met a party of Cherokees at Fort Washington, where they
received each other with the greatest marks of friendship:
After smoking a pipe round, the Head Warrior of the
Cherokees desired the Head Warrior of the Catawbas to give
him an account of their late route, which being done, they
called for Liquor, drank King George's health, and then Head
Warriors of each nation, and then proceeded to dancing,
concluding the whole with a grand War Dance. . . [56 more
lines, recounting what the Indians said to each other]
