Title
Suspension of Treaty with Cherokee Indian Nation
Description
Treaty negotiations suspended due to the loss of Alfred Moore and John Steele as commissioners who took part in the talks. Appointment of Thomas Butler to assist Walton in renewal of negotiations. McHenry noted that the request to build "houses of entertainment" on Cumberland road should be remonstrated in hopes of keeping "bad intentioned whites" away from the Indians who could sour relations between the two nations.
