The 5 Nations state that the Indians they attacked in Virginia are a "false and treacherous" people, but if they had known that they were friends of the English, they would never have attacked. They extend their apologies to Virginia, and ask that an agent be sent up to Albany so that the covenant between the 5 Nations and Virginia may be renewed. In his response, Governor Hunter demands that the 5 Nations find the prisoner they took and return her to Virginia. As a final remark, the 5 Nations note that despite rumors to the contrary, they have no intentions of destroying the [Sappone] Indians, or the neighboring English settlers. Docketed on p.4.
