88 AUTHENTIC HISTORY OF LANCASTER COUNTY. 



had taken from the French, and asked yon for some of the Eum, which 

 we supposed to be part of it, and you gave us some, but it turned out 

 unfortunately that you gave us it in French Glasses, we desire now You 

 will give us some in English Glasses." 



The Governor made answer : " We are glad to hear you have such a 

 Dislike for what is French. They cheat you in your Glasses as well as 

 in every thing else. You must Consider we are at a Distance from 

 Williamsburg, Annapolis, and Philadelphia, where our Eum Stores are, 

 and that altho' we brought up a good quantity with us, you have 

 almost drank it out; but notwithstanding this, we have enough left 

 to fill our English Glasses, and will Shew the Difference between the 

 Narrowness of the French and the Generosity of the English towards

The Indians gave in their Order five Yo-hahs, and the Honourable 

 Governor and Commissioners calling for some Rum and some middle-

 be done. 



The Indians received these two Strings of Wampum with the usual 

 Yo-hah. 



The Governor then asked them what was the reason that more of the 

 Shawanaes from their Town on Hohio, were not at the Treaty ? But seeing 

 that it would require a Council in Form, and perhaps another day to give 

 an answer, he desired they would give answer to Conrad Weiser upon 

 the Road on their Return Home, for he was to Set out to Philadelphia 

 the next Morning. 



Canassatego in Conclusion spoke as follows : 



" We have been hindred by a great deal of Bussiness from waiting on 

 you to have some private Conversation with you, chiefly to enquire after 

 the Health of Onas beyond the Water ; we desire you will tell them we 

 have a grateful Sense of all their Kindness for the Indians. Brother 

 Onas told us when he went away he would not stay long from us; we
