Pynchon writes to congratulate Livingston on his return from the Onondaga tribes, realizing the difficulties placed upon him by the French overtures of peace towards the tribe and claiming "If the 5 nations be not debauched by the French but keep intire to you & his Majestys interest which is most strenuously to be endeavored" then peace should remain.
