ALS, 1777 October 31 : Lancaster, [PA], to John Harvie.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/16972167

Yeates, a Pennsylvania lawyer, here writes to Mr. Harvie in Yorktown of his concern for "the fate of our Frontier settlements." He reports the brave actions of the Delaware Indian "White Eyes" in defending a colonial flag from destruction by other Indian tribes. Yeates says he feels that "White Eyes'" actions should be recognized and rewarded in some way by Congress. "White Eyes" was killed by American soldiers in 1778, though he was aiding Gen. McIntosh through the forests to Detroit.
