Teedyuscung and the Ohio Messengers, informed the Governor that there would be a very great concourse of Indians in Council over the Ohio, some time in the ensuing Spring, and that all the Tribes of Indians settled on the Waters of the Susquehanna, are invited, and Teedyuscung also as one of their most principal Chiefs.
Teedyuscung was encouraged to go, and very desirous that you and Isaac Stille should accompany him. As this Meeting of Indians is to do their own Business, and to consult what measures to take in the present conjuncture of their affairs, I do not apprehend that you will be charged with any particular matters from the Government. You can be of great service in advising Teedyuscung as to his Speeches to the other Indians, or his answers to their Speeches, and in many other tings that may be highly serviceable to His Majesties Subjects, and may have it in your Power to expedite a safe and advantageous Peace. I know you too well not to think but you will gladly undertake this important charge, and contribute very earnestly, and without any regard to the trouble and hazard of the Journey, all you can to finish the good work you have been engaged in, of establishing a lasting Peace.
