Father, and the Six Nations had been Negligent as we. he wou'd have us consider it and alter our Measures

Israel Pemberton

We wish the Delawares cou'd be restrain'd from doing any more mischief and the greatest Proof we can give of our Love & regard for one another, is by convincing them of their bad Conduct, to engage them to return to their Allegiance, for as this Government cannot but be highly displeas'd, & is determined to punish them, & has therefore declared War against them, no doubt but many of them will suffer for their folly and Wickedness, now if you will use your hearty Endeavors with them, we will likewise stand between them and our Government for as we Consider they have no King & their most--crossed out wise old men are gone, we look upon them as Children who do not know what they are doing, Wherefore if they will forbear any further mischief and repent, we will do all we can to have them forgiven.

We attend to what you have said, and we will hold it fast (clasping his hand and keeping it Close) till we come to the Six Nations where we are now going, and then we will lay it upon to them in a straight line (opening his hand wide, with the back of it on the Table, & setting his fingers, and a Pipe straight before him) and it will be joyfull news to them. & when I relate it to them it will make their Hearts melt.... Your peaceable Principle is noble and the great Spirit above, that is over all, will protect you if you steadily keep to it...
