The first file isn't a valid image (likely a data/text file). I have the two readable pages — here is the transcription: --- Sir After I got your [undecipherable] directing me to urge the Oneida Nation to carry the treaty made with M^r [undecipherable] into effect on their part; I immediately [undecipherable] had your letter interpreted to them & which had the [desired] effect; They have agreed [undecipherable] on their part among the principal [men] to have their [reservations] run off and [ascertained] to the description in the article in person as [mutually] as to [have] the treaty carried into [effect] at the same time, [request] me to petition you to [forward] their money as stipulated in [t]he articles to be paid them annually say [the] thousand dollars per the first [payment]. I do not know whether their share will at present reach these [bounds] which is the sum they expect to receive and a less one, will not be satisfactory to them as they have no other idea but to receive [6000] Dollars at the end of [the] [year] from the time of the date of their article expiration of one year from the [date] of the article. I hope [in] this business may be attended to & their payment [sent] in Dollars, as no other money can be divided among them to [their] [satisfaction] to have it [paid] in Dollars [only] at their own expense — Yet, this at the [time] was the understanding, of all parties [and] at the time the agreement was [concluded] & the made of [someone] pointed out. [They] were to be so arranged as to draw the Dollars [from] the bank in Albany & to [send] them by water by the Mohawk River. I know Sir you will make your own calculations respecting this business but I have taken the liberty to mention as above that you might know the understanding at the time the agreement was made, [Copy of a letter to [undecipherable] G[undecipherable] [undecipherable] January [?] Sept. 9, 1798]
