Message to Indian Nations at the Rapids of Miami requesting an answer to speech given 14 days ago
Document 1793On 13 August 1793, commissioners concluded to send a message to Indian nations assembled at the foot of Rapids of Miami River. In letter dated 14 August, and written at Captain Elliot's place, they point out that it has been 15 days since they delivered their speech to the deputies at Captain Elliot's place at the mouth of the Detroit River. Commissioners note that they were promised a speedy answer, but none has arrived. Note that it is time to conclude the business; summer is almost over and there is no treaty. They express commitment to peace and ample justice; but if there is to be no treaty or peace, commissioners ask to be informed so they may go home.
