Office of Miami Eel River Sub agency Fort Wayne , 7th Oct 1846
Sir
I have the honor to inform you that we have
succeeded in getting the Miami Emigration under
way- peacefully + gracefully.
The canal boats in which
the Indians are (5 in member?) left Peru yesterday,
and have all passed through this place to day
in their way to Cincinnatti, when the Indians
will go on board a Sham Boat to be taken to
Westport, from which place they will proceed
by land to their country on the Osage River.
The presence of the Military force has contributed very materially to being this happy result about?; and I cannot speak too highly of the conduct of Capt. Jouett? and the force under his command. There has been no acts of negligence? committed? by the Indians on each other during the collection and sep? to this time? nor do I anticipate any thing of the kind during their journey. The Chief will go with his people to their new homes, and on their arrival there I shall take him and the principal? men of the tribe all through their land, and hope to be able to satisfy them, that it is as good as it has been represented to them to be in which case it will not be long before most? of them who are [illegable] to remain here will emigrate of their own free will.
