Like whole difficulty with regard to the return of the Indians from their country in the west, night lee obriatia by prohibiting certain Peni thru day - from joining onto the Miami ground all together. There is no doubt that Pouilete, Alillei, and Jad Aralime, who are laye [illegible] and who proper influence with the Fudeau, and whose interest it is to settle all they can, that there may be more worry to Cliicle in the west, have been instrumental in returning all that have came back . You will see for now the enclosed better from Illi Driver who I think is free from blame in the matter - what jait her Buillett acted - and if they are allowed to associate with the Indians they will us Clerelt  as they so back and forth each year for their pay being a [illegible] with them. The return of there I ask is a prinicple obstacle in the way of removing.

The whole difficulty with regard to the return of the Indians from their country in the west, might be obviated by prohibiting certain Peru traders-from going onto the Miami ground altogether. There is no doubt but that Bartlett, Miller and Jas Avaline, who are large claimants, and also possess influence with the Indians, and whose interest it is to get back all they can, that there may be more money to divide in the west, have been instrumental in returning all that have come back. You will see from the enclosed letter from Mr. Driver who I think is free from blame in the matter--what part Mr. Bartlett acted--and if they are allowed to associate with the Indians they will no doubt as they go back & forth each year for their pay, bring a number with them. The return of these last is a principal obstacle in the way of removing the others.

In relation to the offer of [illegible] removing the Jean Pothaitaius correct with the [illegible]  only say that [illegible] consider that cuiouit a sufficient copensensation . At the only high rate for all kinds of grain possession, of which the Crunipion the offer are truley aware if cannot be [illegible] sufficient when a alculation. The Pottawatarius are very [illegible] to go - and [illegible] to remorse there at fair interpretation.
+
In relation to the offer of 25$ a head for removing the few Pottawatamies, connected with the Miamis, I would only say that I do not consider that amount a sufficient compensation. At the very high rate for all kinds of grain & provision, of which the commissioner & sec of war are freely aware, it cannot be thought sufficient upon a calculation. The Pottawatamies are very anxious to go--and I am willing to remove them at a fair compensation.
