[Col. Pickering's let. / Oct. 22 — 1795] War Office Pickering Captain Israel Chapin Superintendent for the Six Nations Konondaiqua To the care of John Arbuckle War Office Oct. 22. 1795. Sir, This day the goods for the Six Nations are to start from Philadelphia. The portion destined for the [interlineation: & Tuscarory living at Oneida] Oneida, will be lodged at Whitestown for the distribution of which I shall give the requisite orders. The Stockbridge Indians will receive their share of the community in money to pay for the building of their saw mill: part has already been advanced. So all the good destined for Konondaiqua will be for the use of the rest of the Six Nations and their Associates agreeably to the Treaty of Konondaiqua, and are to be distributed in such manner as you shall think most beneficial, letting all [strikethrough: the tribes] who were comprehended in the treaty have their portions, as far as shall be practicable; but in the individual distribution, so far as depend on you, paying particular attention to the poor and helpless of all ages. I am, Sir, with much esteem; your ob^t Ser^t. Timothy Pickering Captain Israel Chapin
