Note 381 — Chapter XXV · 1764. THE RIOTERS MARCH ON PHILADELPHIA.

Extract from a MS. Letter—Thomas Apty to Governor Penn:—

“Sir:—

“Agreeable to your Honour’s orders, I passed on through the Province of New Jersey, in order to take the Indians under my care into New York; but no sooner was I ready to move from Amboy with the Indians under my care, than I was greatly surpriz’d & embarrass’d with express orders from the Governor of New York sent to Amboy, strictly forbidding the bringing of these poor Indians into his Province, & charging all his ferrymen not to let them pass.”
