lessen the danger of future disturbances
inclosed letter
actual peace
tribes have remained quiet for a year
prospect of our obtaining the western posts warrant a belief that the treaty will be adhered to
treaty made between Gen. Wayne and the Western indians appears to have been very cordially agreed to by all the indians present at the treaty
seems not to have been so full a representation of some of the tribes as would have been desirable
some of the most important chiefs were present
terms of the treaty must be deemed very satisfactory to the U. States
Oneidas
goods for the annuity of the Six Nations are purchased
forwarded to Konondaigua
