MANUSCRIPTS OF

Sm WM. JOHNSON TO COMY GENL "LEAKE.

Johnson-hall July 18- 1765.

Dear Sir,

M'". Byrne delivered me your favour of the 10'^ Inst & I am Extremely obliged to you for the desire you Express to serve him, & M"" Frazier. The reduction of your branch may well be supposed to prevent your good intentions at present, and I dare say if it should hereafter be in your power you will remember him.

I have Just finished Treating with the Shawanese Delaware & mingos, they appear well pleased, & the Settlement of my Department on the proposed system will I am confident prove the only means of Keeping them so.

Ml" Croghan is now I hope at the Illinois, I had a Letter from him from the Scioto River, where the Shawanese delivered up to him Seven French Incendiaries who had been very busy in fomenting the late disturbances, this I consider as a very strong proof of their present pacific disposition as the French are so much esteemed by them, and if we get possession of the ///t/io25 it will be a severe blow to the French, & Greatly Contribute to check the Influence & private transactions with the Indians.
