| Title | Second answer to the propositions of Governor Burnet |
| Date | 14 September 1722 |
| Author | The Five Nations |
| Document Type | Government document |
| Content Description | The Five Nations agree to travel to New England to express to the Eastern Indians their indignation for their barbaric actions against English settlers. With regard to their correspondence with Canada, the Five Nations note that they are at peace with them, and therefore likely to trade and meet with them on occasion. They believe that severing all contact with Canada would ultimately be of ill consequence. As a final request, the Five Nations point out the dramatic rise in the price of goods, and the decline in the quality of powder, and request that King George be informed of this so that the situation may reformed.
