| Content Description | Effingham condemns the Indians for repeatedly breaking their covenant with Coll. Coursey and invading Virginia and Maryland, where they have robbed and plundered English settlements. He explains, however, that he has worked with Thomas Dongan, the Governor of New York, and has decided to make a new and stronger peace with the Indians. In this peace, Effingham demands that the Indians call all of their men out of Virginia, and promise to never attack the English, or their Indian allies, ever again. |
