Summary
Richard Peters, Israel Pemberton, and Charles Thomson met with eight Indians, including Cherokees and representatives of the Six Nations, and two interpreters. The Cherokee spokesman had been very sick, but he was ready to finish the message. He notified the Six Nations that the Cherokee had not gone to war until the French killed some of their people; now they were ready to go to war on the side of the English. The Cherokee were glad to receive the wampum belts from the Six Nations, as well as an invitation to visit, but the war got in the way of visiting. If any of the Nations chanced to visit the Cherokee, they would be treated kindly. Then everyone smoked a Calumet pipe. As an afterthought, the Chief said he had killed two Indians, whom he thought were Shawnee, not part of the Six Nations.
