In answer % so much Of the foregoing
as related 10 the building forts, We told
them, that the lands on which the forts
stood, II Chicago, had been eeded by
them BY the treaty at Greenyille that the
United States would dispose Of Il Il all
times q they tho't proper; that il was
very probable thar stores were establish
ed at the forts for heirconyenieuee, and
that this ought to be rather matter Of sa-
tisfaction than otherwise. H. 34.S.
IN relation q. Mr.. Wells, we told
them We could do nothing that their IA
,ther, the. president, had placed him
there, and he alone could take himaway
but before he did 80, they must sup
port some well grounded charge against
him BY evidence thateould be relied on
We told them further, that We had good
reason 10 believe theirfead brethren, the
chiefs ofthe Shawnees 1t Tawa town,
had induced Mr.. Wells 10 suspect their
motives, by making him believe they, the
Indians at Greensille, were bid men.
Hso, Mr.. Wells was not 50 much to
blame, but that we should consider il
our duty, ifnone Of their chiefs accom-
panied ns 70 chiIicothe, 70 state 10 YOU
