- Description of a meeting with Seneca Deputies in April and with 2000 Indians at Niagara in June. Gained cessions of Territory. "I brought with me 600 of the Six Nations who accompanied the Army under Col Bradstreet who is at present at Sandusky in Lake Erie (encamped they say) to favour the approach of Col. Bouquet on his march from Fort Pit[t] against the Shawanese & Delawares of Ohio who are at present the only Nations in Arms against us." Between the months of February and April, engaged and forwarded parties of "Friend Indians" against the Delawares and Shawanese of Susquehanna; 41 Delawares were taken prisoner. A plan is suggested by the Lords of Trade to more effectively continue Indian Trade by adding more Officers in the Indian Department. IEGOR Lot 620.
