 ribees of their Inheritance many years ago, and

 blame our Anceflors for unjuftly entering upon 

 their Lands : but we of this Generation are no 

 better inclined, as evidently appears from the Ar- 

 ticles of Friendfhip and Commerce that were 

 propofed by the Lords Commiffioners for Trade 

 and Plantations to the Deputies of the Cherrokee 

 Nation on the Borders of South-Carolina^ by his 

 Majefty^s Order, on Monday the feventh day of 

 September in the year of our Lord 1730.
