that Time in the Service of this Province: They went to annoy the
Enemy on the Ohio, and Part of them are again gone towards Fort
Duquesne with the same Design; when these return to Fort Frederick,
they will, I understand, expect some Reward, even though they should
be unsuccessful, and if they should be disappointed in such their
reasonable Expectations, they will, I am afraid, go home much dis-
satisfied, and carry such an Account to their Towns as might have a
very bad Effect, and lessen the Regard which those People have lately
shewn for his Majesty's Subjects in general, and in particular for
the Inhabitants of Maryland. Induced by such Apprehensions, I
recommend it to you to appropriate a Sum of Money for the Use of
these Indians, that his Majesty's Superintendant of Indian Affairs
in this Part of America, might have it in his power to make them
such Satisfaction for their Services, since they came to this Province,
as he might have made them if they had continued so long in the
Service of the Dominion of Virginia.
