that we had made several presents to some
of the Indians of different Nations to the
westward - that we had furnished the Catarau-
gus

Buffalo and Tonewanta Indians with
divers articles - and when the Settlement
was first made at Allegany it was a great
expense, & buying this land and building
these Mills cost a great deal of Money,
but that if ever they should be sold to
other People, the money would be apli'd
to the use of the Indians some where
in some way or other -- that now they
might plainly see how a great deal
of money had been expended, & we still
wish'd to keep a little in Bank to assist
them more, but that none of the
maoney rais'd for the benefit of the
Indians would ever be appli'd to any
other purpose ----

Some further remarks were made on
both sides - & the Indians inform'd us they
were satisfied about the Boys and Girls
we propos'd takeing to instruct & left
it to their friends at Tunesassa
