Report from Foster to McHenry: What to do with the goods contracted for sale by government to supply to the Indians?

Foster tells McHenry that he is in a quandary regarding what to do with the goods that he had contracted with the government to supply to the Indians. Since the country people have little interest in these goods, Foster says he has little chance of selling them. Since there is no Superintendent to authorize the issuance of the goods to the Indians, they must remain on hand unless the government assumes responsibility for them.

This circumstance together with the confidence I have in the contract induces me to hope that the government will not see me suffer–but will take the goods I now have on hand.
