Description
Advises him not to receive from Indian traders any money for licenses until they are regularly recommended by the justices, according to the act of assembly: a punctual observance of that act is now aimed at, to regulate the traders; those who have already paid for their licenses, and against whom there is no complaint, should be discharged from the prosecution; the rest must take their fate; asks his sentiments on the matter, as a reformation is intended only in regard to the carrying of rum among the Indians; he has paid Croghan's bill.
