                      peace but our wise people are of the opinion that after their belly is full 
                      they will quarrel again and rise awarr. all the nations in Europe 
                      know that their friendship is mixed with poison and many that 
                      trusted too much on their friendship have been Ruind
                      I now Conclude and say that we the English are your true brethern 
                      at all Events in token whereof Receive this present
                                    The Goods being then uncovered and I proceeded
                      Brethern you have of late settled the river of ohio for the sake 
                      of Hunting and our traders followed you for the sake of Hunting also, you have Invited them yourself, your brethern 
                      the president and Counsel Desire you will look upon them as your 
                      brothers and see they have Justice done. some of your young 
                      men have Robbed the traders but you will be so honest as to Compel 
                      them to make satisfaction you are now become a people of note 
                      and grow very numerous of late years and there is no Doubt 
                      some wise men among you it becomes you to act the part of wise 
                      people and be more Regular than you have been some years 
                      ago, when only a few young Hunters lived here.
                                         Gave a belt.
                      Brethern you have alate made made frequent Complaints against 
                      the traders for bringing so much rum to your towns and you 
                      Desired it might be stopt and your brethern the President and
                      Counsel made an act accordingly and put a stop to it and no trader 
                      was to bring any rum or Strong Liquor to your towns. I 
                      have the act here with me, and shall explain it to you before I leave 
                      you, but it seems it is out of your Bretherns power to stop it 
                      Intirely. you sent Down your own skins by the traders to buy rum 
                      for you. you go yourself Down and fetch horse loads of strong 
                      liquor - but the other day an Indian Came to this town out of 
                      maryland with 3 horse loads of liquor- so it appears you love 
                      it so well that you Cannot be without it. you know very well 
                      too that the Country near the Endless mountain affords strong 
                      liquor and the minute the tradors buy it they are Gone out of 
                      the Inhabitants and are travelling to this place Without being 
                      Discovered besides this you never agree about it, one will have, 
                      the others wont have it, (though very few of them) a third says 
                      we will have it Cheaper. this last we believe. Speaks out of your 
                      hart; (here they laughed) your Brethern therefore have ordered
