June 16, 1757
The Pennsylvania Gazette
WILLIAMSBURG, May 27.
The Persons who afterwards conducted them thro' the
settlements to the Boundary Line of North-Carolina,
report, That no Men could behave better than they did
in all their March; that they were continually
talking of the Agent and his Speech with the greatest
Satisfaction, and often repeated, that they would
send fresh Parties to our Frontiers.


'Tis to be hoped that those who were present, and
know what passed, while those Indians were here in
Williamsburg, and in what a Temper they left it,
will, when they read the above, be convinced what an
Injury Gentlemen do to their Country and themselves,
who not having had sufficient Opportunities of
knowing Indians and their Affairs or Manners, yet,
with an ill-timed, tho' well meant Intention, concern
themselves too much with them, and interfere in the
Management committed by his Majesty to the said
Agent, for the general Good of his Subjects.
