The 5 Nations express their solidarity with the English, and their determination to maintain peace with them. They agree to try to make peace with the "flatheads" of Carolina, and to stop their young men from killing and stealing English cattle and crops. The 5 Nations also agree to give free passage to and trade with the "far nations" that may wander through their country. Docketed on verso.
