the 15. I let the Indians know I would deliver my message to morrow & the goods I had, and they must send deputies with me on my returning 13. homewards, and whenever we should meet the rest of the goods I would deliver them to them, if they are not taken by the enemy, to which they agreed.

  The same day the Delawares made a speech to me & presented a beaver coat & a string of wampum & said
                                                 Brother we let the President & Council of Philadelphia know that after the death of our Chief Man Ohimapies, our grandchildren the Shawanos came to our town in order to condol with us over the loss of our good king your brother; & then wiped off our tears & comforted our minds. And as the Delawares are the same people with the Pennsylvanians & born in one & the same country, we give some of the present our grandchildren gave to us, to the President & Council in Philadelphia, because the death of their good friend & brother must have affected them as well as us. Gave the beaver coat & a string of wampum.
