But if this should not be the case, you will be constrained to have recourse to other expedients, which although it is highly proper they should be tried, the result may be doubtful. In order though that you may avail yourself of any favourable disposition of the Indians, David Allison the storekeeper and paymaster has been furnished with the quantity of goods you have estimated for this purpose amounting to five thousand seven hundred and eighty five dollars and seventy one cents. It is however to be understood, that you are not to issue these goods to the Indians unless it shall be apparrent to you that it will have the effect to pacify the Relations of the murdered Indians and thereby prevent further hostilities. The Executive of the United States are anxiously desirous of a peace with the neighbouring Indian tribes for the many reasons which have been given to you both verbally and in writing. Part of the United States are unfortunately too enter into a war with any tribe it ought to be under the auspices of justice and is not to be supposed for a moment that they will support the expences of a War brought on the frontiers by the wanton blood thirsty disposition of our own people so altogether unjustifiable conduct. You will please to be frequent in your communications of all circumstances necessary to be known to the President of the United States, and you will please to bear strongly in your mind always, that nothing can be more satisfactory to him than peace with the Indian tribes founded on humanity and justice.
