herewith a list of Miami Indians delivered

over to Col. A.J. Vaughan sub agent, with
 
the statement of Wallace B. White
 
the statement of Wallace B. White
 +
in relation to the subsistence of the Indians
 +
on their route, and the statement of Jos
 +
J. Comparet of the Manner in which the
 +
Poneys belonging to the emigrating Miamis
 +
were cared for during the trip. It is
 +
proper for me to state that in getting
 +
the poneys started on the route, some
 +
of them escaped, the Indians think the
 +
number was nineteen. Whatever the number
 +
may be I presume they will easily
 +
be found.
 +
 +
It will be seen that the number
 +
of Indians on the list as certified to by
 +
Col Vaughan, exceeds by eight the number
 +
repeated by me as forming the emigrating
 +
party, and that as there occured seven
 +
deaths and two births during the emigration, it appears that thirteen Indians
 +
had got on board the canal boats at Peru
