[264] United States If every man would meet himself as well as the Mad dog and the head men of the Upper Towns and M^r Wetherferd, we should have an everlasting peace with our brothers of the United States. I have sent our White men with our Talks to you for he is the only one that hinders any thing for us, since he came from St. Marys I have been sending him through the Upper Towns to the Traders to hear what they thought of our talks, and to tell them not to give the Indians bad talks as some of them used to do, not to tell them to go and deal White peoples horses for if they did that it was forced on, it would be of bad consequence to them. There was that [undecipherable] you gave grade to, I suppose he told you he would do a great deal for you when he went home. He has never done any thing for you. M^r Weatherford and myself wanted him to come down with the bearer and he would not. Since he has come from the Upper Towns I hear that Greson that lives at the [undecipherable] has been giving the Indians talks to go to war, I wish you would send, and see what to do with such people. I see more at present from your friend. A Cornell Copy of a letter from Charles Weatherford.
