		Your esteemd favour of 8th mo 19th & 8th mo 7th
	  
came in my absence on acct of attending our yearly mtg, & then
	  
fulfilling an appointment by the Committee on indian concerns
	  
to attend the treaty between the United States, & the Indian
	  
tribes of this state, at St. Mary's, in company with Jonathan
	  
Taylor & John Shaw.  Our reluctance to leave the yearly
	  
mtg before it concluded made us several days too late

which altho not concluded when we left that place for
	  
home, had so far advanced as to admit of private intelligence
	  
from the natives, the conclusion, then, the Delawares, 
	  
Weanots & Kickapoos had come to - that of selling all
		  
their lands in Indianna,& removing on the other side
	  
of the Mississippa with the exseption of the Miama
	  
Tribe who it is expected will make a [illegible]; the
	  
indisposition of my companions hastend our departure
	  
from the place, which we the less regrette;from being
	  
satisfied of a prevailing disposition in the minds of
	  
the companions, to show kindness & liberallity to the In
	  
dians=they were Governor Jonathan Jenny,Governor Lewis
	  
Cap=the former & latter from Indianna  we had some
	  
opportunity of conveying to the most untaught & hostile tribes
	  
the disposition of the Quakerlus, [unerdlined] as they call them
