| Title | Answer to the proposition of Governor Hunter regarding Virginia |
| Date | 17 June 1717 |
| Author | The Five Nations |
| Document Type | Government document |
| Content Description | The Five 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 Five Nations and Virginia may be renewed. In his response, Governor Hunter demands that the Five Nations find the prisoner they took and return her to Virginia. As a final remark, the Five 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. |
