Knoxville 24 June 1798

Dear Sir

I rec^d your favor of the 17th Instant, on the
23^d and learn with much regret, that you
have not rec^d my letter; I wrote some considerable
time past by a Colonel Jones, who promised me that
the same should have a sure & speedy convey
=ance, and I did not entertain the smallest doubt
but M^r Jones would be as good as his promise, he
knowing the contents, which was requesting
your attendence at this place on the 20th
instant - If this should arrive before you
have set out, let me entreat of you, to
come forward as speedily as possible to this place -

tomorrow is the day appointed for the
Indians to meet at Chota, and the treaty
I expect will open in the Course of this week,
tho I expect, the Indians will be some what tardy
in coming forward - pray use your influence
with M^r Searsy to send forward some money-

Your m^o. obed.^t Serv.^t

John Sevier
