I have advised the Miamis on their arrival week to unite themselves with the weas and they express a willingness to do so and if it meets with your approbation I should be pleased to effect this reconciliation. The Miamis + weas are in fact the same people they separated some years since in account of some [illegable] partiality in a treaty made with the Wea by Gen. John Lipton and it appears to me that it would be good policy to re- unite them. Will you please inform me what in your opinion is would be proper to do in this matter.

I shall start tomorrow in the [illegable] and shall soon overtake the emigrating party, and of? Cinncinnati will mail [illegable] you my report which I shall be compelled to make out on the Canal Boats; I hope the departments will excuse the delay as it has been out of my power to return home rihte? now, and I have but a few hours to remain here.

Yours Respectfully Your Obdt Servant Jos Sinclear
