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 _l._ 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 enjoin'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 _Shickcalamy_
the like Sum.
