Some of them [traders and planters] seem to think that nothing is to be regarded but Gold or Silver. They may at length repent the pains they have taken to teach the Planters to love these tempting metals, for should they ever prefer Gold or Silver to British Manufactures the Cloaths and Household furniture that they are at present fond of and be forced to make such things as they have not money to purchase Britain will reap far less benefit from her Provinces

Many Negroes have been brought up among White People, and by White People have been made, at least many of them, useful Mechanicks, as Coopers, Carpenters, Masons, Smiths, Wheelwrights, and other Trades

South Carolina is a weak frontier colony, and in case of invasion by the French would be their first object of attack. We have not much to fear, however, while we retain the affection of the Indians around us; but should we forfeit that by any mismanagement on our part, or by the superior address of the French, we are in a miserable situation. The Cherokees alone have several thousand gunmen well acquainted with every inch of the province … their country is the key to Carolina

We are but a handful of people spread over a widely extended Country, We are surrounded with Indians much more numerous than us, much more accustomed to the use of Arms, Warr being their trade from their Youth up.
