Every thing relative to them, except Smiths, is struck out. I confess it was more out of Compliance with common Prejudices that induced me to insert any thing about Farmers & Carpenters, than from a Conviction of their utility. But your Hint determined me immediately to leave out every thing that was said about them. The article concerning Smiths is retained ; because you did not object to it, & the Government formerly allowed them.

By Col. Johnson's Directions I inserted a few more Particulars. Pondiac's affair is more fully stated--the Ravages occasioned by the Insurrection which he headed are more minutely delineated, being of great Consequence to remove the Notion of our being out of any Danger from the Indians, as we are Masters of Canada. A few Reflections are also added concerning the Western Indians, whose Jealousy is raised by our Conquest of Canada, & by which we have more Enemies among them now than formerly ; as many Nations, to whom the English were little known before, & whom the French tanght to despise us, now observe us with a Jealous Eye. And lastly, I have thrown out a Hint near the Conclusion, how much more agreable to the Indians the solemnity of our Worship is than that of the Dissenters--that the Indians esteem the National Religion most, being professed -by the King ; & that it wonld be more eligible to entrust their Conversion to Clergymen of the Chuch of England, by which their Fidelity to the Crown would be indubitably secured, than to Dissenting Teachers.
