Title
Letter from W.G. Ewing to William Medill, May 19 1847
Description
Ewing accuses Sinclear of working for a group of "new claimants" who apparently have claims on Miami debts. While employed as sub-contractor of removal, Sinclear apparently went to Washington to get those claims approved, and was promised a cut. Ewing goes on the argue that payments must be organized so that his firm can receive debts owed to them. He complains that the Indian trade business is not very profitable.
