Information for Serving as Indian Commissioner; News of President's Ratification of [Jay] Treaty

Acknowledges receipt of Wadsworth's letter accepting position as commissioner for treaty with the St. Regis [Iroquois] Indians. Has asked New York Governor Jay for the particulars on when the treaty will be commenced, and when the other commissioners will be at Albany -- he will inform Wadsworth of these specifics once they are known. Says chief reason for writing is that "the great question is at length decided;" the President has determined to ratify "the treaty" [presumably the Jay Treaty of 1794 with Great Britain] as advised by the Senate.
