on behalf of our Religious Society, our present, as a token
of our continued regard & friendship for them. A considera
ble time elapsed before we were regularly inform'd by the
General of his Compliance with our request, the reason
for which delay is asignd in his Letter to us dated at
Detroit the 5th Septr last, wherein he informs us of
the particular care exercised by him in conveying to the
understandings of the Indians the substance of the
aforesaid Epistle & our motives in sending them a small
present, & of the satisfaction manifested by them on the
occasion. This seasonable Testimony of our regard ap
pearing to have a good effect, there being as the General
expresses it, the fairest prospect of a lasting peace and
friendly intercourse, between the Citizens of the United
States & those Aborigenes of America.
