States in Congress assembled

The Memorial and Address of a number ofthe People called Quakers residing in 
and near the City of Philadelphia
Respectfully showeth
That deeply affected with the great effusion of Human
Blood, and the Slaughter of our Fellow Men, in the late contestswho have been lately engaged 
in War with the Indian Natives, we sincerely lament the miseries and
distress which These mournful circumstances have this unhappy contention hath produced, and may be yet further 
increased, if the same hostile measures are continued . We conceive it to be our
duty, and among our Rights as Citizems, to suggest to you our painful
Feelings on the subject: a serious and deep consideration of it's importance
being among the most interesting objects that can claim the attention of the
Guardians of the Public Welfare, andwe therefore weardently desire that
under the influence of the true Wisdom you may be directed to pursue such 
pacific measures as have been heretofore experienced to be salutary and
effectual, in securing Peace and Friendship with the original Holders of
Owners of this Land, whose religious and instruction and civilization, if rightly
promoted, may tend to this desireable end, believing the Blessing of
a Righteous God who made of one Blood all Nations of Men, well be
graciously vouchsafed to those, who on the principles of Justice and EquityMercy use their endeavours to prevent the shedding of
Human Blood, and to promote Love and peace among Men
