EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.,

SIR: have this moment received your letter OF
the 23d inst. 1t gives greaI pleasure 10 correct
without delay error into which had fallen and
IN consequence of not adverng particularly 10 the
date OF the certificate Obtained from tie Indians
by the Agent and published as part OF his de-
feocein one OF the last papers from comparison
oFdates It does appear that that certificate OBJ
tanned before the agent knew that yourself and Gen.
Gaines would proceed 10 Broken Arrow 10 con-
vene council or institute enquiry. Whils,
this correction Therefore is most cheerfuly made,
yoa cannot but admit The utter inmateraliiy of it
to the Agent, for any objects or interests of his
for the fact still turns out Ia be that whilst the
Agent in procuring that certificate did not intend
10 ioestaliin particular Gen. Gaines and yourself,
Ia making certain examination, he did well know
that il would foresta Gen. Gaines, or yourself, or
any Others whom your government might at any
time depute 10 make any examination there, and
this is the aud the only fact of any consequence
10 the argument.
On the subject Of specifications TO which you
have, again called my attentions have only to re-
mark, that if your government peases 10 forbear
further enquiry investigation into the conduct of
the Agent, either because ii derives no specitca-
tions frora me- or because those specifications are not
, precisely such in manner and form agreeable
TO Itself, 1t has the power to do sobut If your 60
vernmeut has not found matter enough for specifi-
cations (il indeed they be at ali importantly in the
published accredited documents. or finding il there
10 ample abundance, shall OF choose to frame them
for ITSELF assure you, sir, would not know where
to proceed TO look for it, if believed il Gas
do noO TO be my duty 10 furnish those specfca-
tions.
When time shall have disclosed that was mis-
taken in attributng prejudice TO your government
10 behalf OF its Agent although that belief has not
oeen assumed upon light ground, and is far sns-
tained by the occurrences of every day; assure,
yo1 SIR, shall proceed without delay arender to it
the fullest measure of justice which injured honor
could require from deceived accuser.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant
