commander in chief of the colony of Virginia, and chiefs of
the Cherokee nation, and possible trouble with the Nottaway
Indians, followed by] . . . but being at last prevailed on,

the Nottaways in the market place, each party singing the
song of peace. . . [16 lines]  All differences being thus
adjusted to the satisfaction of both parties, they met in
the evening at the camp of the Cherrokees; where making a
large fire, they danced together round it, and concluded the
evening with harmony and cheerfulness.
