who was Interpreter in that General and National affair of the
Indians and the Services he has done the Publick therein ;
This house are Sensible that the said 2000^lb of Tobacco will
not Reimburse the said Nutter the one Moiety of the Expence
and Charge the said Nutter has been at if no Consideration
