By Our last Inteligence from Pittsburgh the Indian Goods there were by no means Sufficient to answer the Continual demands of a Number of Western & distant Indians Coming daily in with Skins;
Therefore The General desires that you would Inform the Commissioners of it, that they provide and Send with all Possible dispatch a large quantity of Goods, or if They cannot do it.
The Trade must be Opened & left Free to Every Body, which would be attended with great Inconveniences:
I shall be obliged to you to let me know the Intentions of those Gentlemen, that proper Measures may be taken to prevent disappointment for want of a proper Assortment of Goods.
