    Sir

      The Senequa Indians that are come down to renew Peace

    with his Majestys Subjects Inhabiting Chesopeak Bay are

    both the Occasion and Bearers of this Letter which is Agre

    able to a promise made them upon a Complaint of Injuries

    done them by the Virginia Indians as we are strangers to the

    fact and Grounds of the Senequas quarrels with your Indians

    our Council did not think fit to engage further in the Affair

    than to show our Readiness to do our parts in Com

    promising all matters in dispute between those and our friend

    Indians and therefore promised to write to your Honour in

    their favour I would not have your Honour believe that I had

    any manner of doubt in me that any good Offices towards

    the Composing of that difference would be any ways wanting

    on your part yet to express our Good will to these Indians

    that are in Amity with us by a peace treated on and Con

    cluded with them at Albany 1682 on the behalf of Maryland

    and Virginia too & Confirm'd at the head of our Bay 1685

    our Council thought it very proper for me to entreat your

    Honours kind Endeavours (according as the merit of the Case

    shall require) to let Iustice be done to these Complaints so p. 8

    that the antient treaties of peace and Friendship may now be

    renewed between them and his Majestys Subjects of Virginia
