This being the State of the Case, We would humbly propose to Your Lordships, that further and more express orders should be sent to His Majesty's Agent for Indian affairs to examine into :he complaints of the Delawar Indians with respect to Lands, which they allege they have been defrauded of *by the Proprietaries; and that for this purpose he should take the earliest opportunity of signifying to them, that he has, in consequence of what pass'c at the Conferences in July & August 1757, received His Majes'y's orders to inquire into these Grievances, and press them to app intsuch time and place as shall be most convenient to them for Ihat purpose. That he be directed to give timely notice of s ich meeting to the Commiss". appointed by the Proprietaries to act on ■ their part, to the end they may come properly Instructed ind prepared to support the claims of their constituents; and that w';en he shall have made a full and particular enquiry into .:he Circumstances of the case, and heard what all parties may have to offer, he do transmit his proceedings m this business to be ] dd before His Majesty, together with his opinion of what may be proper to be done thereupon.

Having stated to your Lordships the several facts respecting the particular case referred to Our Consideration, together with our opinion upon the whole, it is necessary for Us, befc<i-e We close our report, to take this opportunity of Observing to your Lordships, that the frauds and abuses, with respect to purchases and Settlements of Indian Lands properly so call'd and the fatal effects of such abuses are not confined to the Province of Pennsylvania, nor to this particular Tribe of Indians; they have been as mich practiced, complaia'd of, and almost as severely felt in every other Province, and extend to almost every Tribe of Indians with whom We have an intercourse, and tho' other Nations may not have taken up the hatchet against us, as the Delawars have done, yet they have not afforded us any effectual assistance in the War, in which We are engaged ; their Conduct in general has been at test doubtful! & equivocal and they have been more or less our Friends, as the Chances of War have been more or less in our favour.
