The Disappointment to me About the Publick Accounts, realy grieves me much, as I am sure, it must be very inconvenient to Mr Pollard to be detained from his Money;-- But really I am not to blame.-- Although there has been great Neglect in their not being transmitted from Johnson Hall to Sir William. I shall loose no Time in getting them concluded as soon as we get to Fort Johnson & then shall remit a Sufficiency to pay Mr Pollard. To Morrow Sir William, Sir John your Brother & myself set off for the New England Springs & from there we to to the Mohocks Country. Sir William's Illness has prevented the Time for Opening the Congress being Named;-- But the Indians are all sent for And as soon as We get to the Spring The Time & Place will be determined On.

I have not Leisure now to write to Governor Franklin & Mr Galloway;-- But I intend to do it, as soon as all Preliminary Matters are settled, Which will be timely for the coming to the Conference, if they choose it, As the vast Number of different Tribes, which are to Meet, joined to Sir William's Indisposition will make it much later, than any of Us expected.----I have however the Satisfaction to assure you, That Every Thing will be satisfactorily concluded at the Conference, in respect to the Indian Grant, for the Indian Traders Losses.

I am with my best Compliments to your Father and all the Family

Dear Sir Your most obedient humble Servt Geo: Croghan

PS Since I have been so disappointed by Sir William's Sickness, I am Rejoiced That you did not accept my Draft from Carlisle for £250, I shall however, I flatter myself, Remit in time for it.
