Attended 29th:  3mo., 1737, at the Prop'rs on the affair of Nicholas Depue and Daniel Broadhead.  The Prop'r himself present.  N. Depue having sometime since prevailed with Lapowingo one of the Delaware Indian Kings to preferr a Petition in his own name and several other Indians to the Prop'r setting forth that D. Broadhead had obtained a Warrant for a Tract of Land which they desired might be recall'd because that the said Daniel had done them much wrong and Cheated them very Grosly &c. vide the Petition.

That N. Depue had been their trusty loving Friend and had often redressed and relieved them from the wrongs done to them by the said Broadhead and therefore they had given him the same Tract of Land That they might have the liberty to give away what was their own without Mollestation and that they were resolved that neither D. Broadhead nor any others should settle the said Land in Peace except N. Depue &c.  To this Petition the names of Lapowingo & five other Indians are subscribed.

Depue in pursuance of the above Petition came down to Philad'a & brought with him Lapowingo and Corse Uram an Interpreter, D. Brodhead being also in Town hereupon the Prop'r was pleased to order John Scull should be sent for to Interpret between them who being come the Petition was distinctly Read by Paragraphs and rendered into the Indian Language...

The Prop'r then (by the Interpreter) told Lapowingo that as father had always been kind to the Indians and purchased & paid them for their Lands he did not take it well that they should Sell any to other people because as it was unjust so to do a Law of the Province was provided to prevent the same and render such purchases void and therefore to continue the Friendship that had always subsisted between the Prop'rs and the Indians it would be necessary to fix the bounds of the former purchases by walking out the distances according to the Deeds passed by the Indians to the late Prop'r.
