[Copy] To the Chiefs of the Six Nations Brothers Two Runners were sent by us this Week with a Message dated the 16^th of this Month to the Indian Nations assembled at the Rapids of the Miamis, our instruction to the Runners were to inform you, that they had such a Message from us, and to request you to assemble the Chiefs of the other Nations, and then deliver it to you altogether, from the report of the Runners we are apprehensive that they mistook our orders and that our Message has not been communicated to you, we therefore send a copy of it N^o 1. We at the same time sent a letter to Colonel McKee of which also we enclose a Copy N^o 2. Brothers — Our Runners returned hither this evening, but a few hours before their arrival, two Wyandot Runners arrived here with a written answer, N^o 3 to our Speech of the 31^st of last Month, insisting upon the ohio as a boundary between the Indian landed those of the United States; and as we had already explicitly declared that we could not make the ohio the Boundary, this business of course was at an end, however we delivered a short Speech in writing to the same Runners who left off this Evening, to return to the Council at the Rapids, we enclose a Copy of it also.
