to a letter from Mr. Crawford to Allen Hamilton Esq of Sept. 8 1842 on the subject of the removal of the few "weas" yet remaining in this country. If the Department should so direct, I have no doubt a satisfactory arrangement could be made with the present contractor to remove them.

There are some few Potawatomies connected with the Miamies by marriage, it will be impossible to separate such families, if no arrangement is made to remove them it is to be found that those Miamies connected in that manner will refuse to go, the contractor would prefer to remove them at a low rate. [illeg] the embarrasment that will arise in the absence of such a provision, please direct me what to do in such cases.

I enclose a letter I have had the honour to receive from A. Hamilton Esq one of the commissioners who treated with the Miamies in 1840, on the subject of the suply of $4.000 in pork & flour to be furnished to the Miamies in the second year after their emigration.
