The Number of Indians which attended the Meeting at Mount Johnson, so much larger than had ever appeared at any former Interview, at least of late years, was a happy Omen of Success, & their Lordships hope the manner in which the Treaty with them was conducted, and. the prudent and forcible Arguments which were used to engage them to take part with Us in our Attempt,s to dispossess the ffrench of their Encroachments, will have the Effect to fix them stedfast in Our Interest.

If the Indians are really sincere in their Declarations, and We on our part observe a proper conduct towards them, by seeking the most effectual means of redressing the Grievances and Impositions they so justly complain of, and by inviolably adhering to Our Engagements with them, this well tim'd Renewal of the Covenant- Chain with them, will, their Lordships doubt not, be attended with all the happy Consequences so strongly mark'd out in your Letter.

The Transactions at Albany at the last Interview there, clearly marked out the Necessity and Expediency of a speedy, impartial and effectual Examination into these Complaints of the Indians with respect to the Kayoderasseras & Conojoharry Patents, and other like Violations of Our Treaties and Engagements with them, and that the Intlians may be fully convinced that there was no want of a proper Attention on the part of Government here to these important Matters, I am directed to inclose to you a Copy of the Instructions given to the present Governor of New York thereupon, which you will communicate to them in case you think it advisable so to do ; How far tliese Instructions will be effectual to obtain Redress in these Complaints of the Indians, must depend
