Brooke and Nicolls speak on behalf of the province of New York to aquaint the Justices of England of some issues that need immediate attention. They explain that the loyalty of the 5 Nations is wavering, and it is feared that they will defect to the Canadian side and begin attacking English settlements in New York and New England. Brooke and Nicolls also state that the war cost a great deal, and that New York is in desperate need of assistance to pay its debts.
