Governor Burnet explains that the Eastern Indians have attacked settlers in New England, and asks if the 5 Nations knew of any plans for this attack. The 5 Nations reply that a year ago the Mohawks received black wampum from the Onnagongues, who asked for their assistance in a war against the English of New England. Burnet then reprimands the 5 Nations for not taking action, and reminds them that they owe their loyalty to all British subjects, and therefore must travel to Boston to speak to the Governor.
