[Copy] To the Chiefs & Warriors of the Indian Nations assembled at the foot of the Miamis Rapids Brothers, — We have just received your answer dated the 13^th Instant to our Speech of the 31^st of last Month which we delivered to your Deputies at this place. You say it was interpreted to all your Nations, and we presume it was fully understood — We therein explicitly declared to you, that it was now impossible to make the River Ohio the boundary between your Lands & the Lands of the United States. Your answer amounts to a declaration that you will agree to no other boundary but the Ohio. The negociation is therefore at an end We sincerely regret that peace is not the result, but knowing the upright and liberal views of the United States, which so far as you gave us opportunity, we have explained to you, we trust that impartial judges will not attribute the continuance of the War to them. Done at Captain Elliotts at the Mouth of the Detroit River the Sixteenth day of August 1793. signed { B Lincoln } Commissioners & Beverly Randolph } of the Timothy Pickering } United States Endorsed 4 In Lord Dorchester to M^r Dundas N^o 2 of the 25 Oct 1793 —
