the 7 Inst. I need not express to you how much I am con-
cerned at the Account you sent me of your Assemblys
Obstinacy. I cannot but approve of your sending a Belt to the
Six Nations in behalf of this province tho for want of being

sage to the Six Nations You will be kind enough to acquaint
me at Scarroyada's Return with the Event of his Journey &

requires my Return to Annapolis.
I am &
PS I should be glad to know how matters are at Vanango.
