[illegible] to my being unwell as I before informed you, presented me noticing your reply to me, on the subject of a letter of Mr [illegible][illegible] respecting the Miami emigration. I fear Mr [illegible] has not fully understood the Miami, that I may not been particular as explaining their reply of which I took a note at the time. I may also be misunderstood by you. During the numerous counsels, I urged the necessity of removal next spring. They would not commit,  at the last talk we had. They replied they would go next fall if I had not the power to permit them to remain for a month longer, if I had not to write to them Great Father at Washington [illegible] that urgent if he did not grant it. Send for them our [illegible] as [illegible], that they would meet me and do as the Great Father wished, meaning that they would go next fall. I looked before this reply of the Miamis [illegible]. Knowing their unwilling=ness to leave their nature [illegible], the graves of their fathers and emigrate to a new country. Should on getting a reply to their application that the [illegible] could not be [illegible] to [illegible] the [illegible] tribe of the [illegible] of a spring early emigration for the same reason your [illegible] ([illegible] for [illegible]) I desire to be [illegible] understood by the department under what I [illegible].
