-A letter from Daniel Pierce 1695:

Sir, this afternoon there came the enemy to a house in out town and went in and took, and carried away nine persons and plundered the house, and as near as we can gather, they went southwesterdly between Boxford and Bradford. We can not gather that there were above five of the enemy, but night came on so that we could not pursue them, but we have lined Merrimac river with about fourscore men to watch lest they should carry the captives over the river, and do design in the morning to pursue them and range the woods with all the force we can make, and think it advisable that you range the woods towards Andover, and that Rowley towards Bradford, for if they escape us it will be an encouragement to them. Sir, I do think the case requires our utmost industry who am your friend and servant, D. Pierce.
