Knoxville 10 April 1804

Sir

I do myself the honor of enclosing you a copy of an address
forwarded among to the people, said to have intruded on the
Indian lands,- I flatter myself it will have the desired
effect, and occasion them to that they will see their folly, and occasion
no further trouble on that head -

I have the honor &c

Col^o Return J Meigs
Agent for the department
of War in Tennessee
