Other difficulties arose with the Indians over the price of goods as established by treaty or by the instructions of the Indian board. 33 [Note 33 JIC, November 1, 21, 1716; January 25, 29, 31, March 22, June 17, 1717.] In November, 1716, Hastings supported a Cherokee plea for abatements. 34 [Note 34 JIC, November 1, 1716.] The prices, he said, were higher than those agreed upon by Moore. The next year [1717] Glover reported Indian complaints that prices at Savannah Town were only a little lower than those in the Cherokee towns, and that too much water was mixed with the rum. The commissioners made several reductions and ordered 'in the mixture with Rum, a convenient proportion.'35 [Note 35 Ibid., September 10, 1717.]
