our Province, which has ever maintained Faith & been exceeding generous to all the Indians, & are determined still to be so?
The Council, apprehensive of Inroads to the West of the Blue Mountains in Bucks County, have made Daniel Broadhead & Moses Dupue Justices of the Peace-Broadhead having already a Captain's Commission, & I hope there is a good Company of Militia there.
There are many more things necessary at this Season to be thought of, in order to be put in execution before the severe Wheather setts in, that will occur to you tho' they don't to me. Consider therefore very seriously & give your Sentiments fully, that the Council may do all in their Power.
