| Content Description | Van Eps states that upon his arrival at Onondaga in July, he found the Indians meeting with some Frenchmen, for which he reprimanded them and informed them that Corlaer forbade such activity. When he questioned the Indians about French intentions, he learned that the French proposed peace and the release of prisoners, and asked permission to place a Jesuit in their country. The Indians refused to consider the French propositions, and stated that if they wanted a priest, Corlaer would supply them with one. |
