Transcription

Dayton Ohio 10 Oct 1846

Sir

I have just reached this place (at 11 A.M.) with the emigrating party of the Miamis, and shall proceed without any delay to Cincinnatti; which place we shall reach come time during the day tomorrow when I will write to you again. There has no accident happened to any of our company, there are several of the Indians sick they were so when we started. They are under the care of the physician and appear to be improving in health.

Very Respectfully

Your Obdt Servant
