to the Shawanes chief Kakiapalathy and told him the last part of the Speech was wrong. That chief came back and said it was wrong. Girlie said he had interpreted it truly, what the Wyandot chief spoke; an explanation took place, and Girtle added as follows. Brothers. Instead of going home we wish you to remain here for an answer from us. We have your speech in our breasts and shall consult our head Warriors. The Commissioners then said that they would wait to hear again from their Council at the Rapids, but desired their answer might be given without delay. Thursday 8^th August. This evening arrived two of Captain Hendricks men, with letters, requesting some necessaries may be sent him, and informing of the proceedings of the Indian Council at the Miami, and the disposition of the Indian Nations, relative to peace, and War, after our speech of the 31^st ulto had been interpreted to them. By the information of the letters and mesengers, it appeared that all the nations were for peace, except the Shawanes, Wyandots, Miamies and Delawares, that their had at length yielded to the opinions of the other nations and that peace would probably be made. Captain Hendricks also expressed his opinion, that we should receive an invitation from all the confederated nations to meet them at or near the mouth of the miami this week. August 9^th.

She is bound to Fort Erie; twelve Senekas including Women an children, and most of them sick, from the Indian Council at the rapids of the Miami, came in her. These Senekas are well known to General Chapin, and Jones, the interpreter. One of them an intelligent man, gave us the like information about the proceedings at the Council, upon our last speech, with that received from Hendricks men and the Munsees and Chippewas, only that the four nations who inclined to continue the War, remained obstinate when he departed from the Council. That the six nation chiefs had twice addressed them, urging them to agree to a peace, were going to speak to them a third time; and if they were still obstinate, would exceed their usual custom and speak a fourth time, and if without effect they should then leave them, and go home. He says the Farmer's Brother told him, and his company, that they might expect to be overtaken by messengers to the Commissioners, before they [the
