The Mohegan Indians living in Connecticut Colony, have also intreated me to Represent their Case to your Lordships, that their Lands may be ascertained to them, or at least paid for, I understand they have formerly preferred a Petition to the King in Council, from thence, are apt to believe their affair is better known at your Lordships Board, by means of their former Agent, than they can Explain it to me, so shall not trouble your Lordships with a farther Detail.

Envelop'd with this is the substance of the Mohawks late Complaints, from both Castles, made at a Conference at my house ami by Letter from Conojohary, Extracted from the Records in the office of the Secretary of Indian affairs, to which Office I have appointed M'' Richard Shuckburgh, after the Decease of Cap'. Wraxall who died the 11''* of July last, and would be glad your Lordships would procure for him a Warrant or Commission for that Purpose, the late M*". Wraxalls, I believe was Issued from the Secretary of States Office : the abovementioned Gentleman has resided many years in this Country, is acquainted with the Customs of the Indians, & every way qualified to discharge the Duty required, thereupon Recommend him for your Lordships approbation. I acquainted Gen' Amherst of his appointment, to which he readily agreed : should any interest themselves against this Recommendation ; I hope your Lordships will discountenance their solicitations, as it may be presumed I am the pioper Judge of an officer, so near me as the Secretary of Ind". affairs.
