Permanent ID:

Date:
May 5 1757
Image Description:
A letter written by Lord Luodon, John Campell, to Deputy Governor of Pennsylvania, William Denny. Loudon chastizes Denny on behalf of the King for interfereing with the Crown's interest in "Indian Affairs." Loudon refers to the authority of Sir William Johnson to manage Indian Affairs on behalf of the King for the "Northern District." This letter was likely a response to the founding and activities of "The Friendly Association", a private Quaker initiative to establish peaceful relations with Native Americans through pacifist negotiations and policies.

This digital record contains two images of one letter from folder 3, box 18 of the Cox-Parrish-Wharton papers.
