The 5 Nations request that the Governor acquaint the King of their ardent desire for better trading prices. They also explain that better prices will attract the Indians that trade with the French, who will travel to Albany to conduct business. In his answer, Governor Hunter explains that prices are determined by the market and not by an individual, and it is therefore not in his power to interfere with this system.
