Knoxville 11th July 1798.

Sir

M^r. James Calbert [sic] of the Chickasaw Nation, has
made known to me, some accounts he has against
the United States contracted by Chis'm, when he was
engaged for to transact some Indian business -
I have recommended to him, to wait on you with his
papers, assuring him at the same time you would
do him that Justice his Claim Merited - permit
me to observe, that M^r. James Calbert, together with
the rest of the family, and also the principle leaders
of the Chickasaw Nation, has always discovered great
friendship and sincere attachment to the United States.
from and their conduct in General entitles them
to the particular notice and attention of Government
especially at the present Crisis

I have the honor to be very respectfully
yours &c &c

Colo Henly
