We understand that he had accomplished the business on which he was deputed by one of our African settlements to some of the Princes of that immense Continent, and was within two days journey of an English colony, when he was discovered dead in his bed and although without any visible signs of violence, there is much reason to fear he was murdered by those who attended him, for the presents & etc. with which he was returning.
