I have not time to write to M* Bennet now but shall as soon as I have a certain acctt of the State of Things amongst the Indians. If he ventures, I shall comply with my proposal as to Lodging and Board, till such Time as I conclude a Bargain with Sir William Johnson who is treating with me for my Farm, fora Glebe for the Indian Missionary, as I have before informed you please inform M* Bennet of this.
