Sir
I beg leave to state to you that Mr A. Coquilard (acting under Mr. Dowling's Miami removeing contract) has returned from the West, and desires to commence engaging teams and men to take by land way of the Miamis yet in Inda who can be induced to go.
Mr Coquilard will provide every thing to make them comfortable on the route, and we hope that we may be indulged in as little expences as possible, of officers where but little is left to be finished
Mers Coquilard (Mr. C's wife) who speaks the Pottawatamie language and is a kind & skillful Nurse) will go along, and will have medicines to give the little Party any attention necessary; and as the route will be through settler country (through Illinois and Missouri) with this, and medical assistance on the route, they will receive all the attention their wants will require.
As the names of all not removed are before you, when a list is made out by a Major Vaughn, the agent to receive them you will thus be correctly informed who have this time gone West:-- and we hope that you may first consider it necessary with this small party, to appoint the Government officers, physician &c that were required in the Miami Emigration
