Autographed letter signed; Knoxville. States glad that Meigs and Gen. Robertson agree to the time of holding the treaty. States that they shall not on the new arrangement be pestered with the Rabble part of the nation that at most other seasons would attend... This should make a desirable saving in money. States that Meigs may arrange things to suit his convenience in regard the Kentucky Convention with the Chickasaws, as long as it does not conflict with the Knoxville meeting. Agrees with Meigs that procrastination would be a good strategy. Asks Meigs to send some confidential person to the meeting at Willstown. Says that he will attend the Treaty in person.
