I know of many noble deeds done by them, and I believe, if they are honestly dealt with, they will return good for good.

There are bad ones, of course; but the French traders, and men like the Girtys, have caused most of this long war.

Jonathan and Wetzel tell me the Shawnees and Chippewas have taken the warpath again.

Then the fact that the Girtys are with the Delawares is reason for alarm.

We have been comparatively quiet here of late.
