{"value"=>"Depravity of the Indian traders; [Andrew] Montour, who came from the Six Nations, confirms what Mr. Johnson said in his letter to Gov. Clinton; the Indians are uneasy over the French design to settle the Ohio; at Log-town last year the Six Nations gave up these lands to Virginia; he will send to the Cherokees and other friendly nations to put them on their guard; the colonies ought to join in raising a proper force; suggests that the Governor of New York should remonstrate with the Governor of Canada; the Emperor of the Cherokees has been murdered by Mohawks; British interests are injured by rivalry between traders of different colonies; hopes that the people of Pennsylvania will exert themselves in defence of their settlements."}
