           Brothers.  We have just received your answer dated the 13th ???? tour speech of the 31st of last month, which we delivered to your deputies at this place.  You say it was interpreted to all your nations and we presume it was fully understood.  We therein explicitly declared to you that it was impossible to make the River Ohio the boundary between your lands ad the lands of the United States.  Your answer amounts to a declaration that you will agree to no other boundary than the Ohio.  The negotiation is therefore at an end,  We sincerely regret that peace is not the result but knowing the upright liberal views of the United States which as far as you gave us an opportunity we have explained to you, we trust that Impartial Judge will not attribute the continuance of  the War to them.
