By the Honourable William Denny Esquire
Lieutenant Governor & Commander in Chief of the
Province of Pensylvania[sic] & Counties of New Castle
Kent & Sussex on Delaware.
To all whom it may concern Greeting
Whereas his Excellency Franics Bernard Esquire Captain
General & Commander in Chief of his Majesty's Province of New
Jersey has acquainted me that he is now sending Messengers to the
Minisink & Pompton Indians residing in the Seneca Country
or on the Waters of the River Susquehannah, or wherever else they
may be found inviting them to come thro' this Province to a
Conference at Burlington & has requested my Passport,
safe Conduct & Recommendations not only to those who are
charged with the said Invitation, but to those Indians also
who shall come in Compliance therewith, whether they be
conducted by the present Messengers or by the Teedyuscung[?] or
any other known friendly Indians.
Now, as I have it much at Heart to bring about a general Peace
between all the Nations of Indians & the Subjects of his Majesty
in these Colonies, and have labour'd the same with all my Might
in conjunction with Teedyuscung, the Delaware Chief, & the
Nations associating with him, and I am firmly of Opinion
that if these Indians will comply with this Invitation,
it will be greatly for their Interest, as well as tend to promote
the general & good Work of Peace; I do in the most solemn
Manner, by these Presents, promise, engage & assure to all such
of the Minisink & Pompton Indians as shall come thro' this
Province to Burlington the Place appointed by Governor
Bernard for a Conference, my Protection, safe Conduct and
Assistance, so that they shall be safe in their Person and
furnish'd with Provisions in their Journey, and I do hereby
strictly charge & require all Commanders of Fork[?] & all other
military Officers on the Frontiers to receive and entertain teh
bearers
