Canadagua 7^th June 1794 Sir I had the honor of receiving from Col^o Willin[undecipherable] [your] on the letters of the 5^th April & 7^th April together with the Copy of Lord Dorchester's Speech and the one thousand Dollars of which he was bearer. It may [undecipherable] probably have been more [or] important to the [United] State to have for me to have recieved those letters at an earlier period than I did, but they were only delivered to me on the 25^th of May — Previous to receiving your dispatches as I had the honor of mentioning [undecipherable] in my last I had attended a Treaty at Buffalo Creek. The result of which my Sir has before this informed you — [d.] As soon as circumstances would permit I engaged a person to go to Upper Canada & to watch [the] motion both of the British and of The Indians. I also sent a Son of Major Gen^l. Shepherd to [his?] Canada and shall inform [you] as speedily as possible of the result of their Enquiries. I [undecipherable] not had an Opportunity of [seeing?] Brandt, but I have dispatched a person to him in order to bring about a private Interview, between him & me. I have little doubt of success, and I am fully persuaded that if he is brought over to us, that we will thereby acquire an influential friend. The Shea[undecipherable] Chiefs I have also attended to and I believe that they are well satisfied with the treatment of the U.S. The Cornplanter whose steadship & fidelity has been until lately unshaken, [was] shaken is I am apprehensive [undecipherable] been induced by the [British] to join their Interest. he has lately returned from Niagara loaded with presents. The day after his reaching home he dispatched Runners to the diffe- rent tribes of the Six Nation requesting them [undecipherable] to meet in a general Council at [Jenango?] [saying that?] [undecipherable] Indian had been killed by our people and that it would be necessary for [them] to to enquire into the [circumstances?] [undecipherable] Murder [undecipherable] [undecipherable] were required to meet them at their Council at the Genesee River where they informed [undecipherable] of the purpose of their [undecipherable] consented on [our?] accompanying them to [Jenango?] — [I] informed them that under my Son returns that I would be impossible [for me] to take so long a journey and they then declared that they would [wait?] until his Arrival. I was loth to pledge my self to accompany them to the [meeting?] [the?] orders you would wish to send by my Sir. I am [undecipherable] afraid that there [must?] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] the murder of this Indian [undecipherable] [undecipherable] the Cornplanter to invite them to [their?] [the?] Treaty. The Lands were indeed [were] sold to the [State of] Pennsylvania by the Cornplanter in a [secret?] Treaty without the consent [of the] nation [and?] [undecipherable] of the money [having?] been [made?] The Cornplanter has always since denied having made the [sale?] they have never considered it as a valid one in the [undecipherable] sent [undecipherable] by the [Sta—?] [of] Pennsylvania [prove?] to the Indians that that purchase is considered by the State as belonging to Them. [&] Cornplanter in order to extricate himself from the unpleasant Situation he is Placed [is?] he perhaps desirous of [inflaming?] the Six Nations again [&?] the U.S. This Council may be of the first importance. The Attachment of the Cornplanter to the United States [undecipherable] [very?] [useful?] to us [undecipherable] [against?] us & endeavors to excite them against [undecipherable] may be dangerous. I shall therefore [undecipherable] Think it my duty [not?] to attend at [Jenango?] unless it I should have reason to believe that my apprehensions are [not?] founded The British are [pushing?] still to entrench & fortify at The [Rapels?] [of the?] Miami — They have [now?] [no?] Companies there [their?] [intention?] [undecipherable] [to?] encourage the hostile Indians [&?] supply them with the greater ease with [Arms?] & Ammunition — I shall endeavour to comply with [your?] [undecipherable] Instructions [undecipherable] holding my [confidence?] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] from the [British?] [undecipherable] giving you as [frequent?] information [undecipherable] [possible?] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] all that [takes place?]
