War Office Oct. 17. 1795 Sir, The Goods for the annuity of the Six Nations are purchased, and will very soon be forwarded to Konondaiqua, excepting perhaps those for the Oneidas. The treaty made between Gen. Wayne and the Western Indians appears to have been very cordially agreed to by all the Indians present at the treaty; and altho' there seems not to have been so full a representation of some of the tribes as would have been desirable, yet of these some of the most important chiefs were present. The terms of the treaty must be deemed very satisfactory to the U. States; and the [underline: actual peace] (for those tribes have remained quiet for [strikethrough: near] a year) with the prospect of our obtaining the Western posts, warrant a belief that the treaty will be adhered to. — The removal of Col^o. McKee to Montreal (of which you lately advised me as intended) will lessen the danger of future disturbances. The inclosed letter to Gov. Simcoe I request you to forward with care. I am y^r. Aff^t.
