What was the immediate purpose of the Albany Congress of 1754?
It was recommended as the first step necessary to be taken at this Congress, that the Commissioners should consider of the several matters they may judge proper to be proposed to the Indians, at the intended interview with them, and to prepare the speech to be made on that occasion for which purpose his honour acquainted the Commissioners, he would direct the Secretary or Agent for Indian affairs to attend them with the Records of that Office, and the Commissioners of Indian affairs to meet together as often as there should be occasion in order that they might give them all the information relative to Indian affairs.
