Very respectfully your [illegible] serve.

I beg leave to submit for your consideration the Inclosed Letter of Major W. R. Jouett, in relation to the Removal of the Miami Indians:--
 +
 
 +
Major Jouetts Letter was solicited to lay before you, and I hope it will satisfy you that none of the Miamies were permitted to remain behind "<u>to gather their crops</u>" or for any other purpose whatever by that officer, haveing command of the Removal, or by the Contractors, or any other person authorized to give such permission.
 +
 
 +
It was no doubt an [order?] of Mr. Sinclairs, growing out of the circumstance of the 4 chiefs Ko-assee, Mezequah, White Loon, & Rivarre, who assisted to make the removal, but left their Families behind, saying they would take them West hereafter at their own expence, if they liked the country,--had they been [found? to talk them?], they had the means to bring them back & Lands & Farms on this country to live on.
 +
 
 +
Mr. Coquillard has started West we hear with all he could get to go and has I presume advised you on the subject.
 +
 
 +
Very respectfully your<br>
