Excerpt from American State Papers, Vol. 2: Documents, Legislative and Executive, of the Congress of the United States, From the First Session of the Fourteenth to the Second Session of the Nineteenth Congress, Inclusive; Commencing December 4, 1815, and Ending March 3, 1827

It is incumbent on the United States to execute every article of this treaty with perfect good faith, and it is their firm resolution to do it. They wish to be particularly exact in the execution of the article above recited relating to the Indian tribes. For this purpose the President has, in consequence, appointed you commissioners with full power to conclude a treaty with all those tribes, for which I enclose you a commission.

You will give immediate notice to all the tribes with whom the United States are at war on the Mississippi and its waters of the peace which has been concluded between the United States and Great Britain, and of the stipula tions contained in it in regard to them; and you will likewise invite them to attend by a deputation of chiefs, at such place or places as you may: appoint, for the purpose of concluding the proposed treaty of peace and amity between the United States and all those tribes. It is thought proper to confine this treaty to the sole object of peace. Other arrangements between the United States and the Indian tribes adapted to their mutual interests may be entered into hereafter.

You will avail yourself of the opportunity to inform the Indian tribes that it is intended to establish strong posts very high up the Mississippi, and from the Mississippi to Lake Michigan, and to open trading-houses at those posts, or other suitable places for their accommodation.
