{"value"=>"Acknowledges letter of July 25; the cause assigned for the quarrel of the Senecas with the Mohawks does honor to the latter; the endeavors of the Conajoharees to prevent Johnson's journey to Detroit, like those of Little Carpenter to delay Col. Grant's operations against the Cherokees, are calculated only to gain time for mischief; he is glad that Capt. Campbell sent Johnson a copy of the proceedings of the conference held at the Wiandott town, showing the disappointment of the Six Nations, and the resolution of the upper Indians to adhere to His Majesty's interest; he wishes them to be informed that upon the first hostilities they may be guilty of he will extirpate them root and branch; recommends caution in giving bounties of ammunition."}
