should be removed and furnished on the rout, in such manner as I would point out. He called on the principal chief on his way home giving him the same assurance - Much prejudice is to be contended with - as to their mode of removal. The Potawatomies <s>[on yellow river?]</s> <s>[illegible]</s> who went on that way some of whom returned complained of that mode. Yet I do not dispair of success from the assurance Mr Dowling  authorizes me to give them. As there are many things to settle can they emigrate.
