Title
Negotiations with Indians
Description
Washington has just returned from a ride and could not pass on the enclosed sooner. An expression in the enclosed might have embarrassed the Commissioner. What the Indians deem a good price might be considered inadequate by the Commissioner, which might mar the negotiations. It is enough to ensure that the business is conducted fairly and with candor.
