The Board taking into Consideration the Regulation of the necessary
Expences of the _Indians_ Travelling down hither, and Returning; and
upon an Estimate made by _Conrad Weiser_, amounting to about _One
Hundred Pounds_, it appearing that the said Sum of £100. will be
necessary to be advanced to _Conrad Weiser_ to defray those Expences,
Mr. _Logan_ on the Proprietaries Behalf, proposes to advance 40_l._ and
the Treasurer declaring he had no publick Money in his Hands, and that
if he had, he would not advance Money without the Assembly's Order; it
is recommended to Mr. _Preston_ and Mr. _Lawrence_, to confer with Mr.
_Kinsey_, and know whether he, as Speaker of the Assembly, and Trustee
of the Loan-Office, will advance the other 60_l._
And the _Indians_ having requested that they might have a small Quantity
of Rum, to be added to their Provisions, to comfort them on the Road:
The Board is of Opinion, that there be added to the said Estimate
---- for Twenty Gallons of Rum for the aforesaid Use. And in Return for
their Present of Skins, at Requesting that the _Indian_ Traders be
enjoyn'd to sell their Goods cheaper, the Board directs that two Strouds
be presented. And that _Five Pounds_ be given to _Caxhayn_ on the
Account of the Province, for his Services; and to _Shickalamy_ the like
Sum.
