The Governor will be bound to send an expedition against the murderers, and they'll not be easy found.

But while the militia are routing about on the Rapidan, what hinders the big invasion to come down the James or the Chickahominy or the Pamunkey or the Mattaponey and find a defenceless Tidewater?
As I see it, there's deep guile in this business.

A Cherokee murder is nothing out of the way, but these blackguards were not killing for mere pleasure.

As I've said before, I would give my right hand to have better information.

It's this land business that fickles one.
