Brethren,
I received great pleasure in the Treaty held with you last fall at Tioga, and the manner in which it was conducted was entirely approved by the Great Chief of the United States. I hope and believe that the intended Treaty will be equally pleasant and give equal satisfaction to our Great Chief.
Given under my hand and Seal at Wyoming in the State of Pennsylvania the 17th day of March 1791
