Page 95 - ... living on the old land, might fancy it more for his advantage to trade or make shoes for them?
Page 25 - ... some of the Indians left him, and by his consent made a separate peace, he would not be personally concerned in it, saying, that when he made a peace, it should be such a one as would be useful and honorable to himself, and to the King of Great Britain. But he has not as yet proposed his terms.'* This account hears manifest marks of correctness.
