record of the proceedings of the Indian Com-
mittee

, from the reception of this report to the
17th of 4th month, 1801, when an account is
given of a meeting, at which a committee was
appointed to draft a letter to Tarhie, Buck-
ingehelas, and other chiefs of the Wyandot and
Delaware nations of Indians, in return for a let-
ter and speech which had been received from
them, which did not contain a full reply to the
proposition made to the Indians in 1799. The
committee supposed their communication had
not been faithfully translated, and again inquired
of their Red brethren:

Are you willing to
have your children instructed at home, on your
own lands, how to raise plenty of corn, to make
clothes, and to build houses; to keep your old
men, your women and children warm when the
weather is cold; and that you may not suffer
from want when the game gets scarce in your
country?

GOULDSMITH CHANDLEE. Dated Baltimore, 4th month 17th, 1801.

At their next meeting the Indian Committee
of Baltimore

was informed by a communication
from Joel Wright, that nothing had been re-
ceived from the Indians since the last meeting,
and no business was transacted.
