Hairax, Nova Scorta, 30th September, 1886.

I certify that the foregoing document is a true copy and a facsimile of the origi-
nal treaty written on parchment, made at Boston, on the 15th December, 1725, and
the renewal of the same by the Indian deputies at Halifax, Nova Scotia (Chebucto)

on the 15th August, 1749. Also, the ratification thereof by the Chiefs and Captains
of the Tribes at the River St. John, on the 4th September, 1749. Indorsed thereon.
In possession of the Government of Nova Scotia.

THOMAS B. AKINS,
Commr. Public Records, Nova Scotia.

By the parties to these Articles: the following Article is unanimously and
reciprocally agreed upon for the more effectual preservation of the peace: That if
any hostility shall be committed or offered to be committed by any Indians on any
of the English subjects the Tribes who have entered into and ratified the treaty shall
furnish and supply fifty Indians with a Captain of their own and the English two
hundred and fifty, and so in proportion a greater or lesser number as the occasion
shall require. The forces to be paid and subsisted by the English and under the
conduct of such a General Officer as the English Governour may judge proper to
pursue such refractory Indians either by sea or land and compell them to live peace-
ably and quietly with their neighbours. And if any other Tribes of Indians shall
make warr upon any of the Tribes now enter’d into peace, in such a case the English
shall assist them att their own cost and charge with the like proportion of men as
may be necessary. &
