From Henry Bouquet
ALS: American Philosophical Society
Fort Loudoun 27th. August 1764
Dear Sir

I have the mortification to inform you privately that Bradstreet has granted Peace at Presqu’Isle to the Delaware and Shawanese without insisting on the least satisfaction for their Murders and Insults.

I flater myself that the General will not ratify Such a Scandalous Treaty; for my part I take no Notice of it, and proceed to the Ohio, fully determined to treat as Enemies Every Vilain of those Nations (Deputies excepted) as shall come in my way, till I receive contrary Orders from the General. I am Dear Sir Your most Humble Servant

H. B.
