68 AUTHENTIC HISTORY OF LANCASTER COUNTY. 



"As We intend to say something to you about our Chain of Friend- 

 ship after this affair of the Land is Settled, we desire you will now Ex- 

 amine the Goods and make an End of this matter. 



" We will not omitt acquainting Our Good Friends the Six Nations 

 that notwithstanding We are likely to come to an Agreement about your 

 Claim of Lands, yet your Brethren of Maryland look on you to be as one 

 Soul and one Body with themselves, and as a broad -Road will be made 

 between Us, we shall always be desirous of keeping it clear, that we may 

 from time to time take care that the links of Our Friendship be not 

 rusted. In testimony that Our Words and Our hearts agree, We give 

 you this Belt of Wampum." 



On presenting of which the Indians gave the usual Cry of Approba- 

 tion. 



Mr. Weiser acquainted the Indians they might now look over the 

 Several Goods placed on a Table in the Chamber for that Purpose; 

 and the Honourable Commissioners bid him tell them if they disliked 

 any of the Goods, or if they were damaged, the Commissioners would 

 put a less Price on such as were either disliked or Damnify'd. The In- 

 dians having View'd and Examined the Goods, and Seeming Disatisfy'd 

 at the Price and worth of some of them, required time to go down into 

 the Court House in order for a Consultation to be had by the Chiefs of 

 them concerning the said Goods, and likewise that the Interpreter might 

 Retire with them, which he did. Accordingly they went down into the 

 Court House, and soon after returned again into the Chamber. Mr. 

 Weiser sat down among the Indians and discoursed them about the 

 Goods, and in some short time after they Chose the following from among
