Govern^r of Pensylva. attended The Treaty, we Received many per-
sonall Civilitys from Him, But I am not sensible He did these Good
Offices I am satisfyed He might by His Influence with the Indians.
I shall Hereafter trouble Your Lordship with a particular detaill
of Our whole negotiation, But I Have only the Opportunity now of
saying thus much. And that I am My Lord
Your Lordships most obliged & Faithfull Hble serv'

P. S. I forgot to Address Your Lordship by the Indian Name
To Gary Hogan Given at this treaty to the Gov^r of Maryland He
never Had One before, And Every Other Governour of these neigh-
bouring plantations Have one. The meaning Is President, Chief or
Eldest It is the Highest Title of Honour The six Nations Have :
For their Governour or Union are not Conducted by Kings but
Councills.

My Lord Annapolis 12 July 1744
I wrote by Cap^t Grindall the 4^th past by whome I sent 68 Bills of
Exch: amounting to £1044.. 19.. 5 w^ch I wish may have escaped all
danger & be got safe, I shal not venture to send the 2^d Bills 'til I have
an oppertunity of a Man of War w^ch I shal depend will see the Fleets
home and I pray Your Lordship will have a favourable opinion of
me, when I depend it is for the best; w^th the Man of War I shal also
send all other Bills & Acc^ts Our Comissioners from the Indians are
returned having finished the Treatie w^ch has Cost about £440 Ster^l
and w^ch has fully taken the Bal^a on the 3^rd for Arms.
As I suppose the Com" from Our House will give a full Acc^t of
their proceedings I shal refer to them & only add that I am
My Lord Your Lordships Mo: Obedient
& Mo: faithful Servant
Benj^a Tasker.

My Lord
Since my Last on the 22^d of Last month, advising Your Lordship
of M^r Rousby's death; The Governour Has been pleased to nominate
me to supply That Vacancy, till further directions from the Treasury.
I can only urge a Constant unshaken Sincerity of Zeall & Earnest-
ness in Your Lordship's Service, As a foundation for my Hopes of
your Lordship's Continuance in those kind Dispositions Your Lord-
ship was pleased to Assure me of, with respect to That Place; And
I Doubt not but my Real Conformity last Session to your Lordship's
directions, as well as our Successfull negotiation with the Indians
(To w^ch I was appointed instead of M^r Dulany And severall Copys
of the Treaty Have been transmitted by severall Conveyances to
your Lordship by me) must take away every possible Surmise, That
I never Could or Can Have Any other View, than Your Lordships
Honour & Interest, However I may Have been mistaken in Any
points of Your Lordships Commands or my own judgement.
