The Upper House. 211

Board Resolved It be recommended to the house of Delegates
with the following Message which was sent by Col Ennalls &
Col Addison Viz.

By the Honble President & Council in Assembly
October the 30^th 1713

Upon the Emperour of Nanticokes leaving his Indians last
Winter this Board understanding he was gone up to the Sus-
quehannahs and being apprehensive he might insinuate that
he had received some injury from the English and endeavour
to obtain some Assistance to reduce his own People or other-
wise molest this Government We thought it advisable to
prevent the Northern Indians giving him too Easy Credit to
send the honble John Hall Esq^r Col James Maxwell & Major
James Philips to the Indians on Susquehannah to discourse
them on that occasion Whereupon the said Gentlemen made
the return herewith laid before you as We then did so we
have still great Reason to believe the said Messengers on that
occasion did particular Service to the province and Quieted
the fears of many of the Inhabitants Wherefore we desire you
will see them handsomely satisfyed for their Labour, A rough
draught or Account whereof is herewith sent you It being
likewise thought adviseable to acquaint the Nanticokes with
the purport of that message & return made by the Gentlemen
least they should have any Suspicion We had treated with the
Susquehannahs to their prejudice, The honble Col Ennalls

U. H. J.

Major Hicks and M^r Hudson were ordered to acquaint them
therewith and at the same time present them with twelve
yards of Stroud Water for which we desire Col Ennalls may
be allowed his Account of five pounds six shill
