Petition of Numphow, John Alyne, Simon Betokom, and Sam Numphow to the Massachusetts General Court

To the Much Honoured Governour and Council

.

We pray you consider how we may be secured from the Indians now the snow is off the ground, and they come when they will to do mischief near to us for there is one Indian runaway from the Chelmsford, and he tell them how we are well among the English.   Your Worshipful please provide place for us where we may be both for planting and wood and for food. 

Pray consider our condition with speed,

Numphow, mark

John Alyne, his mark

Simon Betogkom, his mark

Sam Numphow
