Writes that Captain Ludwig wants to have the petition withdrawn and have the decision about the lands left to three impartial men. Relates that Captain [George] Ulmer is suffering insults for working with them. Describes an uprising against him by the people of Ducktrap, who accused him of being the enemy of the people and threatened to kill him. However, he reasoned with them and was able to get away; the people have since seemed to accept him. Reports that he has seen by a letter to Isaac Winslow, Sr. that Knox has appointed an agent for the eastern country (likely referring to Thomas Vose), and believes he has made a very great sacrifice. Will go to the eastern country himself in the spring and attend to business there.
