The Agents of Maryland request the assistance of Brockholes and the government of New York in their inquiry into the transgressions of the northern Indians. They ask the New York agents to make it clear to the northern Indians that a peace agreement with New York constitutes an agreement with all British subjects, including those that reside in Maryland and Virginia. Therefore, if the northern Indians attack white settlers in Maryland or Virginia, then they should not expect to retain their peace and trading privileges at Albany.
