Title
The Headmen Produce their Map and Tassel Addresses the Commissioners
Description
Discussion on the boundaries. Colonel Richard Henderson called a liar in his dealings. Commissioners point out that Henderson is dead and say that the country believes it has long since been sold. Tassel says it may be too late to recover the land. Commissioners refer to claims of people settled at Nashville Tennessee and the Chickasaws. Tassel and Tuskgahatchee wish to postpone the matter if the Chickasaws would come. Commissioners say the Chickasaws are not coming and that treaty needs to be completed. Tassel and Tuskgahatchee mark the lines for the whites. Commissioners insist that provisions must be made for the whites already settled. Tassel asks why the authorities cannot remove the white settlers. Unsucknail discusses boundary lines.
