hearken to our complaints. We dont
doubt but what you have done what
you could for us, & we wish it may
be taken notice of; otherwise we must
think ourselves greatly wronged, & our
minds cannot be at peace. Tomorrow
we shall answer you more
particularly & to your satisfaction.

Then Thomas King addressed
the several Nations,

Brethren,
I would advise you all to enter
with chearfulness into the Business
your Brother Warraghiyagey has
recommended to you, & to do it from
your hears. Let us follow the __
example of our ancestors, whose __
Bones are now turned into dust;
they were wise Men & took care of
every thing that concerned peace: let
us do the same, & let us make a
Line for the Benefit of our Children,
that they may have Lands which __
cant be taken from them; & let us in
doing that, [shew] the King that we
are generous, & that we will leave
him Land enough for his People, __
then he will regard us, and take better
care
