Summary
Header: At a Council held at Philadelphia Tuesday 8 June 1756. Present: Governor Morris, four Englishmen, two Native Americans, Conrad Weiser, interpreter. Weiser told the Governor the Indians were uneasy about being in town so long, so the Governor worked that out. He had been waiting for information from a Council in Onondaga; he now knew that members of that Council would meet the Susquehanna Indians at the end of the week to tell them directly. Weiser delivered the Governor's message. Morris was so glad everyone accepted the cessation. We have all confirmed the old treaties. He recommended a very public ceremony at Weiser's house to show the world all was well. The most important point was that prisoners on both sides be promptly returned. He would bring clothing and provisions to the next gathering. The Fort at Shamokin was still on. If his invitation conflicted with any Six Nation meetings, he would be glad to re-schedule. He told Newcastle to send particular messages to certain native peoples to urge them to attend the Council.
