The Indians replied on the 30th of the 6 Mo in substance
as follows,

Brothers,

we find no difficulty in accepting
your proposals as to anything but the place you choose
many of our people are against
parting with any of the commons, because we have hardly
pasture enough for our cattle now, and if we lesson it they will
be famished and break down the fences and get at the corn, beside
which we are afraid our young men will disturb you sometimes
there when they get in liquor, Brothers we think it
right to propose another place to you which we think
may suit you better, we will go shew it to you

Upon this the spot was viewed, and mutually agreed on
