Title
Regarding Federal-State Relations and the Establishment of a Settlement at Presqu'ile
Description
Reassures Mifflin that the suspension of establishing a settlement at Presqu'ile is temporary, and was not meant (by the President) to supersede the power of Pennsylvania, but sooth relations with the Six Nations, and the President does not seek to interfere in the rights of the individual states. Hypothesizes when, and under what circumstances, the settlement project can be again undertaken. Knox expects word from the treaty commissioner soon.
