"the women were violently driven out of their houses. The
oxen, cows and other animals were butchered. Even the horses
were wantonly shot. The whole country was desolated. Your
men carried off even my own property, and we were left
without means of defence against the savages. No proper
accommodations have been provided for me and my suite at New
Amsterdam, and our expenses have not been defrayed."
With much dignity Governor Stuyvesant vindicated himself. "I offered," he said,
"to leave fort Christina in your possession, but you refused
it. I am not responsible for any property for which I have
not given a receipt. On account of your high station, I
offered more than once to entertain you in my own house. As
this did not satisfy you, you were induced to reside in one
of the principal houses of the city. There you indulged in
unmannerly threats that you would return and destroy this
place. This so annoyed the people of the house that, for
peace sake, they abandoned their lodgings.
