Sir.
I have in some measure anticipated your wishes of information relative to General Wayne's treaty: and now have the pleasure to enclose [strikethrough: a] copy, received yesterday evening, with an abstract from his letter of the 9th ult°. being all that he says on the subject. He has obtained more land than was expected. The chiefs who signed the treaty are not numerous; but I observe, among them the names of Blue Jacket, the great Warrior of the Shawanoes, & of Misqua-coo-na-caw their great Speaker — of Buckongelas the great Warrior of the Delawares — and of Au-goo-sha-way, of the Ottawa whose name I recollect to have heard Col. Butler mention with much respect when I was in Canada. I am not acquainted with the names of [undecipherable] Chiefs of the other tribes.
With the greatest respect
I am Sir,
your obt Servt
