"The subject Of entering into

SO long, and so fully has it been
discussed that all understand
better today the will and wish OF

the people can now be confidently
regarded as q true exponent. OF
their spirit and pleasure more
than at any time in the past. In
these circumstances, therefore,
suggest that you provide suita-
BILE commission or delegation of a
number of competent men, clothed
with power and authority to enter
into an agreement with the United
States for an allotment OF all the
) landed possessions Of the Musko-
gee Nation. among its bona hde
citizens. In such division |
would suggest that all the, land be
divided and taken up, each citizen
! receiving an equal share of the
lands OF the nation wherever he
may select the same, without in
trusion on the rights or improve
ments of another citizen, to hold
and use or dispose of as he may
