Knoxville 28 March 1798

D.^r Sir

Yours of the 20 Jan^y ultimo, with a letter enclosed
to Zachariah Cox, I was honored with on the 20th inst.

What I am truly sensible of the efforts you and your
colleagues have made in behalf of our suffering
friends lately removed from off their farms, I hope
they will soon obtain leave to return - Watts is
here on a visit, and seems friendly disposed
as to the treaty - I am proud to hear the president
seems to interest himself in favor of the people, and
feels for their sufferings; and in case he should
use his influence to make & have the Tennessee
the line it will forever endear him to ^the people of this country,-

I have nothing new, or worth communicating
