Fort Augusta, August 7, 1760. John Shicallamy came from Tioga in New York. The Indians were very impressed by the Governor's proclamation about the murders of some Indians at Carlisle and what the Governor had done about it. The Indians gave full permission to make a road to Tulpahawken, but urged the Governor to do all he could to keep liquor from coming in on the road. It was all right for settlers to come back to lands they had purchased. Within the previous month, the French had asked the northern Indians to join them against the English, but the Indians refused and supported General Johnson. End note: Acquainting the Governor that the Six Nations and all other Indians consent to and do desire a road from Philadelphia through [illeg.] to Fort Augusta, which is a great point gained.
