Kendall states that he is writing to discuss recent incidents of Oneida Indians destroying and plundering colonial settlements, and abducting some women and children. He explains that he is willing to forgive these actions as long as the Oneida agree to cease all attacks, and obey the law that obliges all Indians to stand still and lay down their weapons upon contact with a white man.
