Copy of a letter from Albany, dated March 30, 1757.
   I make no doubt but you have heard of our late alarm; and
as I have been as far up as Lake-George, will acquaint you
with the particulars of the siege of Fort-William-Henry, as
it was related to me by a gentleman that was in the fort,
and an eye-witness of the whole. . . [7 lines, the fort
under siege by the French.] Sunday the 20th, the alarm drum
beat here, when every man that was capable of bearing arms,
was ordered to prepare for a march in half-an-hour. . .
