Regarding Treaties with Indians at Mississippi and Wabash and Miami

St. Clair reports that he went to the Mississippi to to hold a treaty to extinguish Indian claims to their lands, and to lay out certain donations of land for the inhabitants. Discusses proceeding to the post of St. Vincennes upon the Wabash and notes that there was no guidance to lay out donations, presumably because a cession had been made there to the crown of France. A further sum will be necessary to treat with Wabash and Miami Indians. Says it is impossible to judge what sum would induce them to extend the northern boundary of the last cession to the Mississippi.
