I think that a Map of the Country you speak of freed from the errors of' all those that have been published would greatly Illustrate your Work but no Regular surveys have been made thereof. The most accurate~sketches that have been obtained are in the hands of Col. G. Johnson who has taken much pains in these matters, and will readily contribute his assistance by sending you such a one as may in some measure answer yt desires.

THE REVD. CHARLES INGLIS TO SIR WM. JOHNSON.

: New York, Sep. 21, 1771. Worthy Sir,

I am honoured with Yours of the 10 Instant ; tho it did not come to Hand till after I sent the Memorial by M* Browne of Skenectady, which T hope you have recieved by this Time.

I am fully sensible you require " no Spur to your Inclinations" with Regard to the measures proposed for converting the Indians. Indeed' your-Zeal is what chiefly animates the Friends of that Scheme with Hopes of its Success : Andit is evident that Bishop Lowth only intended to give a Testimony in his Sermon of the Sense that He & the Society have of your Zeal in this good cause, & how much depends upon you. For my part,I am free' to declare, as I always have, that next to Providence, my chief

THE SIX NATIONS. 463

Expectation & Dependance are founded on Your Zeal, Abilities & Influence both with the Ministry & the Indians; & if any Thing is ever done for the latter, Iam persuaded it must be thro Your Means.
