The topographical account of the Indian Country, as you justly observe, would require a very accurate knowledge of the Relater--much more accurate than I am master of. You will find I have only given a short & general Account, merely with a View to make the plan more intelligible in England. If you can inform me, I should be glad to know whether the Bishop of Quebec has Permission to ordain missionaries, & send them where he thinks proper. I take it for granted that he has; but would chuse to be certain. The Articles of Capitulation, or of the Treaty of Peace afterwards, say nothing about it.

My best Compliments wait on Sir John--& be assured , you have the sincere Esteem & best wishes of, Worthy Sir, Your very affectionate & humble Servt CuarLes Ineuis. To Sir W™ Johnson Baront

P.S. It would give me much Pleasure te hear from you soon. Could a Map of the Country of the Iroquois be transmitted with the Memorial, pointing out the different Races there mentioned, I believe it would be of Service perhaps it would be difficult to procure this--I have several Maps by ma, but they are all very imperfect.
