Sir: your favor hasn't reached February 20, reached Theo' post office in due course of mail, when I was absent: and I toke the earliest occasion to acknowledge to be receipt, after carefully noting its contents.

The appointment of Col Sinclair, as Emigration Agent of the Miamies, will, I have no doubt have [illegible] acceptable to those interested. It is certainly so to me. I will be journeyed by the anxiety expressed in your letter for the early removal of that [] in accordance with my duty as contractor. All the [] arrangements are made for that purpose, and the emigration will proceed so loose as the season will permit- not later, it is helped, there May. An earlier movement would not be present owing to the variable character of over early spring months.

I am, sir , with respect, Your obedient servant Theo Dowling
