Summary
Speeches by William Johnson and Hendricks. Hendricks, who was appointed speaker by the Mohawk people, spoke first and indicated they were glad to see Johnson, but they were uneasy and almost did not come. Johnson noted that the Governor was surprised and grieved by their demands. He asked that the Mohawk people suppress their unhappiness for a short time until the old Governor left and the new Governor arrived. Johnson said he spoke in the Governor's name and asked the Mohawk people to consider what should be discussed at the future meeting in Onondaga. They should have enough representatives at the meeting so decisions could be made. The Mohawk people replied the next day, agreeing to suppress their animosity in a deep pool and bring good people to Onondaga.
