By the [Upper] House of Assembly

L. H. J.

Gent:
Towena the Senequa and George King of the Tuskaroras
came after some Time to the Governour and Council and
Seem'd well disposed to Peace and to make Satisfaction for
the Horse they had Shot and some Other small Matters they
had taken from the Englishmen they Surprized: but it was
thought much more proper (after they had Shewed their Will-
ingness) to take the Burthen thereof from them upon the
Publick, which was thought much more Generous and be a
good way to Avoid the Squabble that might happen on their
Over rating their Commodities, and Under valuing the Poor
man's Horse which was then Accordingly promised and they
Very thankfully Accepted. Wherefore we propose your
Agreeing to An Order for the Making Satisfaction out of the
Publick at the Laying the Levy.
Signed p Order. John Beale Cl Up. Ho
