Letter and enclosure from Joseph Sinclear to William Medill, March 30 1846
Description
Joseph Sinclear informs Indian Affairs of the last remainging obstacles to emigration. Sinclear views the indebtedness of the tribe as the most serious obstacle to securing removal, and he discusses at length the importance of resolving the debts of individual tribe members with their creditors. Sinclear also details the appointment of a physician to accompany the tribe on their emigration, an appointment which is documented in greater depth in Peebles's enclosure. He even makes reference to lists of Miamis who are to remain in Indiana and those who are to emigrate and touches upon the logistics behind assembling emigrating members of the tribe together for purposes of conducting investigations into their debts.
