The Six Nations drew themselves oi\\ to their own Country foreseeing some bad Consequence -- The Ohio Indians at a meeting with M'" Wiser, the Interpretar of the Province at Angwhich after the Defeat of Col' Washington asked M^ Wiser, how them Lands came to be sold; he said in answer that the Six Nations, had only made Over their Right of Sale, and taken a Earnest Piece, and that when the Lands Came to be Settled, that they should Receive a Consideration for them ; at the same time Johney Shecelemy Burnt some Houses that was built on Penns Creek, and said their should be no Plantations made on Their Hunting Grounds, and all the Indians at Shomockin Seemed very uneasie, and indeed Obhged the Surveyors to come away, and quit Surveying.

All the foregoing is fact?, and can be Proved which I think is Sufficient to shew the World that the Purchases gave a general Discontent, to the Indians and I believe the Governments Conduct in immediately Surveying, and Opening an Office for those Lands at a time when the French was in Actual Possession, of the Ohio, will be thought by every, impartial judge, a very Imprudent Step, and sufficient to destroy, allhisMajestys Indian Interest,

" The Proprietaries say, as the Indians on the Contrary are not *' well satisfied, witli the sale of those Lands on the Ohio the " Proprietaries are willing to wave that part of the Treaty.

I cannot help remarking here, that I think the Proprietaries with great Justice should disclaim any Right to those Lands they ever had, except their Grant from the Crovt-n.
