Dongan, Thomas, 1634-1715
Manuscript document
Title: Proposition to the Mohawks and Senecas
Dongan writes that he is distressed by news of the Oneidas, Onondagas, and Cayugas traveling to Canada to make a settlement with the Governor, which would constitute a breach of their agreement with him. He also reprimands the Mohawks and Senecas for trading at Philadelphia and not exclusively at Albany, and instructs them to apprehend any French or English men they find traveling and trading without a pass from him.
