1736-11-19, Six Nations' request delivered to Thomas Penn, by Conrad Weiser (MS)
|
|
The Indians' request to the government of Pennsylvania delivered to Thomas Penn, Esq., by Conrad Weiser, interpreter, on November 19, 1736. We, the
Chiefs of the Six Nations, wanted the Governors of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland to know that the Nations expected compensation for the land
now occupied by the English. The Governors could send the money to the Nations' brethren in Philadelphia. They wanted either lower prices for trade
goods or more money for the skins they brought. James Logan was not to buy any land from the Delaware because they had no virtue and were unjust in
their dealings. The Delaware did not own the land they were offering for sale. If the Governors did not respond, the Nations would go to the King.
Four natives recorded their marks, which were singular marks, not just an X. (Digitized from a microfilm copy held at the Pennsylvania State Historical
Society)
