Thomas Dongan writes that he will convey news of the French invasion of English territory to the King, but wishes first to settle upon a few issues with the 5 Nations. He asks if they in any way provoked the French, and notes that they were warned not to make peace or war with the French without his permission. Dongan then recommends a number of security measrues to be followed by the 5 Nations, and warns them to stay out of Virginia if they desire the protection of the British. Docketed on verso.
