I have advised the Miamis on their arrival west to unite themselves with the Weas and they express a willingness to do so and if it meets with your approbation I should be pleased to effect this reconciliation. The Miamis + Weas are in fact the same people they separated some years since on account of some upheaval partiality in a treaty made with the Weas by Gen. John Lipton and it appears to me that it would be good policy to re- unite them. Will you please inform me what in your opinion it would be proper to do in this matter. 

I shall start tomorrow in the [illegable] and shall soon overtake the emigrating party, and at Cinncinnati will mail to you my report of which I shall be compelled to make out on the Canal Boats; I hope the departments will excuse the delay as it has been out of my power to return home until now, and I have but a few hours to remain here. 

Yours Respectfully 
Your Obdt Servant
