Brethren,

In former Times our Forefathers and yours lived in great Friend-
ship together, and often met to strengthen the Claim of their Friend-
ship. As your People grew numerous we made Room for them and
came over the great Mountains to Ohio, and some Time ago when
you was at War with the French your Soldiers came into this Coun-
try drove the French away and built Forts. Soon after a Number of
your People came over the great Mountains and settled on our Lands
We Complained of their Incroachments into our Country and Breth-
ren you either could not or would not remove them As we did not
chuse to have any Disputes with our Brethren the English we agreed
to make a Line and the six Nations at Fort Stanwix three Years ago
