                                it is true what you said that the people of Pensilvania are your 
                                brethern and Country men we are very well pleased of What your 
                                Children the Shawanos did to you, this is the first time we had public 
                                notice Given us of the Death of our Good friend Olumapies. I take 
                                this opportunity to Remove the Remainder of Troubles from your 
                                hearts to Enable you to attend in Counsel at the Ensuing Treaty and                                                                                                                                                                              I assure you that the President & Council of Pennsylvania condol with you over the loss of your king our good friend & brother.

Gave the five strowds. The two aforesaid chiefs gave a string of Wampum & desired me to let their bretheren, the President & Council know they intended a journey next spring to Philadelphia to consult with their bretheren over some affair of moment. Since they are now like orphan children they hoped their bretheren would let them have their good advice & assistance, as the people of Penn and the Delawares were like one family. The same day the rest of the goods arrived. The men informed me that they had 10 days rain & the creeks rose, & that they had been obliged to send one sick man back from Frankstown to the inhabitants with another that attended him. The neighboring Indians being sent for again, the council was appointed to be held tomorrow. It rained again. The 17. It rain very hard, but in the afternoon it held up for about three hours. The Deputies of the several nations met in council, & I delivered to them what I had to say from the President & Council of Pennsylvania. Bretheren you that live off on Ohio, I am sent by the President & Council of Pennsylvania, & I am now going to speak to you on their Honours behalf. I desire you will take notice & hear what I shall say. Gave a string of wampum.
