Fort Wayne, May 27, 1844

Allen Hamilton , Esq.
Agent of Miami Indians :
Dear Sir: Having became a contractor for
collecting, subsisting, and removal of the Miami
Tribe of Indians, now under your agency,
I take occasion to inform you that I am
prepared to furnish all the facilities necesary for those purposes, at which time, 
and under each conditions as may be
deemed best calculated to advance the views
of the general government, and, at the same
time, carry out its just and humane 
^intentions^ towards that tribe.

I will be happy to hear such suggestions as you may be pleased to make, 
in regard to the contemplated removal, reflecting my entire readiness to cooperate
in all measures [devolving?] upon me by 
the contract.
Very truly,
Your friend, 
Thos. Dowling
