In his proposal, Dongan forbids the Indians to travel to Cadarachqui at the Governor of Canada's request, and reminds them to remain loyal to England at all times. He also instructs them on what to do in the event of an attack, and notes that he will supply them with provisions and ammunition. On p.3 there is a portion of a Dutch translation of the document.
