The Governor formerly requested me to pay attention to the Indians, and take care of them. We are now arrived at a situation in which I believe the Indians cannot exist, unless the Governor should comply with my request, and send a person authorized to treat between us and the white people the approaching summer. I have now no more to speak.
[Transcriber Note]
All presumed typographical errors were corrected. Hyphenation of proper names was not standardized. On [page 27], Sir William Johnston is the father of Sir John Johnston who is mentioned twice. The quotation beginning on [page 60] lacked a closing quote which was placed based on an internet search of the document quoted.
