SPEECH TO INDIANS, 1757
Brethren:
You very well know that it is Customary with all Nations, when they have ben at Warr with one another, and Peace is made, to release all prisoners on both sides, among the Indians. The prisoners are released when they first meet to treat for peace, which Custom you yourself observed. When you first Came down to Easton and Kindled this Council fire,by bringing some of the prisoners down, in order to show your Sincerity for peace.
I must now desire and insist, by this Belt of Wampum, in behalf of the King of Great Britton, whoes Children you now are, immediately to set at Liberty the prisoners as yet remaining among you, and you will be so good as to Convey them down by some of your yong men,who will be well rewarded for their trouble.
