Summary
The Board of Trade in London had sent a document very critical of the colonies for not paying more attention to the Indians. Halifax told the Governors to meet in Albany, deliver the King's gifts, listen to the Nations and their allies, and fix the complaints--everyone needed to be involved. The Governors met in Albany in late June 1754, calling themselves a Commission. Before the meeting with the Indians, the group considered where to build forts, how to control the liquor trade, and received a complaint about Indians robbing traders. The men spent three days on a draft of a speech to the Six Nations and friends.
