Office of Miami Eel River Agency Fort Wayne 20 July 1846

Sir, I have had the honor to receive your letter of the 8th, enclosed with a copy of the decision of the department on certain applications of the Miamis. I take the liberty on this occasion to express my admiration of the policy adopted by the Department and my madiness to aid in carrying it out. I have just returned from the residence of the chief. I called upon him for the ___ of finding out what the Miamis were prepared to do in the way of emigration. I told the chief that the tribe would now be expected to act.
