The savages will in a few days meet in council, & before they are dismissed I shall hope for orders how to direct their inroads upon the Frontiers, it would have made me very happy to have received them from Your Excellency, but as you have determined to go to Europe, those hopes are at an end. Should there not arrive in time particular orders, I shall dispose of a part of the Savages, in small scouts & if possible retain the most reputable of the chiefs and Warriors in the neighbourhood, that if the Commander in Chief should think proper to point out some particular service for them in the course of the current year they may be in readyness.-
