Executive DEPARTMENT,
| Milledgeville, 9th June, 1925. 5
Sir-I have this moment received
your letter of the Esd inst. 1t gives me
great pleasure to correct without delay,
an error into which have fallen, and in
consequence of not adverting particu-
larry to the date Of the certificate OBJ
tanned from the Indians by the Agent,
and published as part Of his defence in
one of the last papers-from compa-
rison ofdates, it does appear that that
certificate Was obtained before the
Agent knew that yourself and Gen.
Gaines would proceed to Broken Ar
row to convene Council, or institute
an enquiry. Whilst this correction
therefore, is most cheerfully made, you
cannot but admit the utter immaterial-
ity of it to the Agent for any objects or
interests Of his-for the fact still turns
out to be, that whilst the Agent in pro-
curing that certificate, did not intend
TO forestali in particular Gen. Gaines
and yourself, in making certain ex-
animation, he did well know that it
would forestall Gen. Gaines, or your
self, or any Others whom your Govern
ment might at any time depute to make
any examination there, and thus is the
fact and the only fact Of any conse-
quence to the argument.
| On the subject Of specifications to
which you have again called my atten-
ton, | have only to remark, that your
Government pleases to forbear further
enquiry or investigation into the con-
duct of the Agent, either because it de-
rives no specifications from me, or be-
cause those specific ations are not pre-
cisely such i'm manner and form as are
agreeable to itself; it has the power to
do so-but if your Government has not
found matter enough for specifications,
| (if indeed they be at all important) in
the published accredited Documents,
or finding it there in ample abundance
shall not choose to frame them for IL
! self, l assure you Sir, would not know
where to proceed to look for it, even il
believed it Gas do no0 to be my duty
to furnish those specifications.
When time shall have disclosed that
Twas mistaken in attributing prejudice
to your Government in behalf of its
Agent, although that beGefhas not been
assumed upon light ground, and as so
far sustained by the occurrences of ev-
cry day, assure you Sir, shall pro-
coed without delay, to render to it the
fullest measure Of Justice, which injur-
ed honor CO uld require from deceived
accuser
Very respectfully, your obd't. serv't.

PRlNcEros, Indian Nation, 4th July, 1925.
SiR-I take advantage of the first
possible moment from incessant and
arduous duties, to do myself the honor
of receipting to your excellency, your
three last letters.
Your letter Of the 18th June, was re-
ceiyed from the Commissioners Of
Georgia, on the 25th ult. 1t was my
determination TO afford the Commits
sioncrs of Georgia Cot whose appoint
ment had been previously apprised0
all the attention which my duty TO the
General Government and my respect
for an important member of the Union
justified and demanded have done
so, SO far as my sense of duty permitted
me; but regret to Inform you that have
not had the pleasure of agreeing with
the Commissioners on several points of
procedure.
You may readily imagine that my
impressions of your great personal no.
nor were not at all weakened by the
receipt of the note of your excellency,
dated the 9th ult. in which you so
frankly correct without delay, an error
into which YOU had fallen, on one parti-
cular point, relating to the Indian A
gent; and regret exceedingly, that a
sense of justice will not permit me to
make the admissions which you APP
pear in the same letter to expect of me.
Your excellency may rest assured, that
did not intend to call on you again for
specifications, after you had expressed
in your letter of the Goth June, your
determinations not to furnish them. In
my answer of the Esd, to your letter last
referred to, l adverted to the circum-
| Stances merely with q view IN chew yyhv
