The Seneca’s demanded justice for the death of their braves. Something needed to be done to prevent war.

President Washington wrote to Timothy Pickering to met on behalf of the United States and assure the Senecas the murders were displeasing to the United States.

Goods for treaty sent to Hollenback’s trading post."
