These Things happen frequently, and we desire you will consider them well, and not be too much concerned. Three _Indians_ have been killed at different Times at _Ohio_, and we never mentioned any of them to you, imagining it might have been occasioned by some unfortunate Quarrels, and being unwilling to create a Disturbance. We therefore desire you will consider these Things well, and, to take the Grief from your Heart, we give you this String of Wampum. _Which was received with the usual Ceremonies_. _Brother_ Onas, We have heard of the Murder of _John Armstrong_, and, in our Journey here, we had Conference with our Cousins the _Delawares_ about it, and reproved them severely for it, and charged them to go down to our Brother _Onas_, and make him Satisfaction, both for the Men that were killed, and for the Goods. We understood, by them, that the principal Actor in these Murders is in your Prison, and that he had done all the Mischief himself; but that besides him, you had required and demanded two others who were in his Company when the Murders were committed. We promise faithfully, in our Return, to renew our Reproofs, and to charge the _Delawares_ to send down some of their Chiefs with these two young Men (but not as Prisoners) to be examined by you; and as we think, upon Examination, you will not find them guilty, we rely on your Justice not to do them any Harm, but to permit them to return home in Safety. We likewise understand, that Search has been made for the Goods belonging to the Deceased, and that some have been already returned to your People, but that some are still missing. You may depend upon our giving the strictest Charge to the _Delawares_ to search again with more Diligence for the Goods, and to return them, or the Value of them, in Skins. And, to confirm what we have said, we give you this String of Wampum. _Which was received with the usual Ceremonies_. _Brother_ Onas, The _Conoy Indians_ have informed us, that they sent you a Message, some Time ago, to advise you, that they were ill used by the white People in the Place where they had lived, and that they had come to a Resolution of removing to _Shamokin_, and requested some small Satisfaction for their Land; and as they never have received any Answer from you, they have desired us to speak for them; we heartily recommend their Case to your Generosity. And, to give Weight to our Recommendation, we present you with this String of Wampum. _Which was received with the usual Ceremony_. _The Governor having conferred a little Time with the honourable Commissioners of_ Virginia _and_ Maryland, _made the following Reply_: _Brethren_,
