You told us Yesterday you were consulting about securing both yourselves and us -- We beg you will resolve upon something Speedily -- You are not safe from danger one day--The French have their Hatchet in their hands both at Ohio and in two places in New England -- We dont know but this very Night they may attack us. One of tli£ principal reasons why we desire you will be speedy in these matters is, that since Collo Johnson has been in this City, there has been a French Indian at his House, who took measure of the Wall round it, and made very narrow Observations on every thing there abouts. We think (Coll® Johnson) in very great danger, because the French will take more than Ordinary pains either to kill him or take him prisoner, upon A-Ccount of bis great Interest among us, and being also one of the Five Nations (Collo Johnson is one of their Sachems.) Upon this they give 4 Strings of Wampum.

There is an Affair about which our Hearts tremble and our minds are deeply concerned ; this is the Selling of Rum in our Castles. It destroys many both of our Old and Young people -- We request of all the Governments here present, that it may be forbidden to carry any of it amongst the Five Nations.
