We are much deceived in the Opinion We ever Entertain'd of our Brethren's Honesty -- But after our uninterupted Regard and Attachment to Them j and the many accounts We have had from You of the Uprightness of the great King, and his determin'd Resolution to See Justice done to all Well disposed Indians, We can hardly think of being so Treated and Wronged -- What We now Request is. that You will write to the Governor, and let him & his great People know our earnest Desire j which is, that He and They will not suffer any People to deprive Us unjustly of our Lands, but to stop any Proceedings now intended, with regard to Kayaderossres untill the great King's Pleasure is known, Who, we are sure, will not suffer Us to be so greatly Wronged, as it must alarm all the Nations of Indians, and shew them what a bad Return We have for om- Services to the English -- A Belt.

Brother

We now acquaint You that as some of our People lately were on the Hunt, about Kayaderossres Creek and the Lakes in that Quarter, They, to their surprise discovered several Settlements of English there, -- They would not go near them, till they had acquainted Us of it -- We now tell You Brother, that we intend to send some of our Soberst, & most Sensible People, to desire these People to move off of our Lands, which we hope they will without farther trouble, as they have no Right to it.
