"... Mr. Lamboll reported from the Committee appointed to Consider what
allowance may be proper to be made for the Entertainment of Indians on the Road
coming to & returning from Charles Town. That the Committee having Considered
that matter accordingly, had directed him to report their Opinion thereupon to
the House & he read the report in his Place & afterwards delivered it in at the
Clerk's Table where the same was read & is as follows, Viz.
   That upon Considering the State of our Circumstances with the Indians in
Amity with this Government, it will not be proper, at this Juncture, to make any
Reduction in the present Allowance to such persons Living on the Roads Leading
from the several Nations of Friendly Indians To & from Charles Town as Shall
Supply the said Indians with Provisions & Liquor on their Journeys.
   The said Report being read a Second time, was agreed to by the House...."
