Branch Bank Fort Wayne 
November 23d 1847

Dear Sir 
The Emigratio of the Miamis have been completed, & subsistence having been furnished for one year according to contract (except for the small party recently removed) I have to request that you will issue a requisition in my favour for the amt due the contractors, naming what may be deemed sufficient to [illeg] the subsistence of those Indians, lately emigrated.

I am [advised?] that Mr. Vaughan has duly forwarded to you, <s>to</s> the [illeg] of rations furnished, & also the roll of the party recently removed.

You will pardon me for remarking, that it is of the deepest importance to these contractors that the amt due should be remitted to me with as little delay as practicable. The double emigration has been unexpectedly expensive. The Contractors are under heavy liability, for advances we have made to them, the delay of payment is highly injurious to them.

I trust that you will no retain [maybe refrain], to secure the subsistence of the small party recently emigrated, any more than is absolutely necessary, for this purpose. It is probably agreeable [illeg] of liberality towards these Indians who refused to go with the first emigration, to compel the contractors to subsist them at all.

Very Respy 
H. McCulloch [illeg]

Hon W Medill 
Comr Indian Affairs
