Letter packet re: Alexis Coquillard, June 25 1847
Description
Coquillard offers to remove Potawatomis associated with Miamis for more than the suggested $25/person; he is the cheapest removal contractor he knows of. Miamis are returning from the West under, he thinks, the help of traders Bartlett, Avaline, and Miller. Included in this packet is a scathing letter from a person named Driver accusing Coquillard of spreading a rumor that he brought Miamis back from Kansas to Indiana, and a letter from the Indian Department sticking to its offer of $25/ Potawatomi person removed.
