A Statement Attesting to the Character
of Col. Andrew Donnally
Appearing in the Virginia Gazette
THE following persons are all those, and all who were present, immediately under the command of Col. Andrew Donnally, when the Indians attacked his house and fort on the 29th of May last, do, in justification of that Gentleman’s character (basely aspersed by the malicious reports of those who, from their not being present could not, and from their want of candour, would not be faithful reporters of the truth) solemnly declare, that on that trying occasion he behaved himself with proper resolution and firmness, nor gave the least occasion for being suspected of pusillanimity or want of courage. Your inserting this in your Gazette may obviate the designs of those who have raised so malicious a report, and oblige the friends of truth and justice, as well as your humble servants,
