Gentlemen

Having appointed you as Agents on the part of
this State, to attend the ensuing treaty now about to be held between
the United States and the Cherokee indians. ~

You will therefore pleased to repair to Tellico Blockhouse,
at which place you will be on the sixth instant prepared to attend
the negotiations, at whatever point they may open.

It will be impossible to instruct you in the minutia of those
interests, to which you are called to attend; as an outline, you will understand
the State to require as extensive an extension of the indian claim North of
the Tennessee as may be obtained. -
