But, I imagine the Cornplanter has already anticipated the others, and gone forward. Colonel Colonel Brant is right as to the principle of the boundaries. The idea in future of conquest ought to be relinquished, and fair purchase and optional sale take place. I shall be gald to hear that you have pushed forward Captain Hendricks and the chief Peter I am, Sir, etc. etc. H. Knox , Secretarty of War. To The Reverend Samuel Kirkland .

Sir At a conference held by Colonel Pickering with the Senecas and all the others of the Six Nations (excepting the Mohawks) at the Paintedpost, in the month of June last, it was agreed that certain chief's should repair to Philadelphia, during the time of Congress being in Session, in order to carry into execution certain principles tending to the civilization of the said Indians. Colonel Pickering now writes to those chiefs at Buffalo Creek, and other places inviting them to repair here. In his invitation, he has included Captain Brant ; perhaps this may not be a sufficient inducement for him to come - You will therefore write to him in your own name assuring him, that you will pledge yourself for his safety and welcome reception. Immediately on your return to Oneida Oneida you will send Indian runners to the several chiefs who are named by Colonel Pickering . You are explicitly to understand, that the presence of a few of the principal chiefs are desired. You will appoint Geneseo as the place for you to meet the said chiefs, with whom you will proceed directly to this city, by way of Tioga and Luzerne county. Your knowledge of the language and customs of the Indians, a confidence in your character and integrity, induces me to place an entire reliance in you relatively to this business. That you will send fruitful and intelligent messengers, particularly to Captain Brant , from whom you will endeavor to obtain an explicit answer. That you will meet the said Indians at Geneseo, at the time you shall appoint, which which ought to be as soon as convenient. That you will make suitable provision for them at Geneseo and thence on the route to this city. That you will take all due care, that they are not insulted on the road, but kindly received. That you will inform me in due season, of their numbers, and when they will arrive in this city in order, that suitable accommodations may be provided for them. That you will keep the accounts of the expenditures upon the road, in a fair and clear manner, taking receipts for every expenditure so that, every shilling may have a proper voucher annexed thereto. In order to enable you to execute this business in a proper manner, I have directed that the sum of three hundred and fifty dollars be placed in your hands, for which you will be held accountable. Besides defraying your necessary expenses while while in the actual execution of this business, you shall have a reasonable compensation for your trouble, which shall be settled and paid, upon the issue of the business in this city. I shall depend upon receiving your communications upon all necessary occasions, and particularly, I shall wish to obtain as early information as possible of the effect which the late defeat of our army, has had upon the minds of the Six Nations, particularly the Senecas. You will not fail upon all proper occasions to impress on the minds of all Indians, so that the sentiment may be diffused far and wide, That the President of the United States and Congress are highly desirous of being the protectors, friends and ministers of good to all peaceably disposed Indians; but at the same time they will punish all murderers and disturbers of the peace of the frontiers. I am Sir with esteem Your most obedient Servant The Reverend Samuel Kirkland H. Knox Secretary of War
