reserves as prayed for by the Indians and as recommended by major Harvey
To this & to their paying their own debts out of their own money I find every Senator with whom I have spoken are favorably disposed and this they will consent to, if they even do not modify the resolution.
With these latitudes, & by obviating these restrictions I think the Treaty can be made, but not without [underline] them, in my humble opinion, I do not think I am mistaken in this. Send along Maps shewing the Kanzas lands you have bot, and that they can have their 585, 000 acres (more or less) as they may wish, on both sides of the Kanzas river, West of & adjoining the Shawnees & Delawares. State what it will cost them, the amt. to be deducted from their $850, 000, and all other things as
set forth in the proposition. The Comrs. should repair first to Council Bluff Councill and Treat with those upper Bands first. Then come down to the lower Band, and they will concur. Do not go to the lower Indians first, nor do not assemble the upper & lower Indians together. If you do it will create difficulty and perhaps defeat the treaty.
Let the Comrs. give the appointment of Secry to the Treaty to Majr. Richd. L. Elliott. This will bring him in aid of the negociation. He can, and will be very useful, those Indians & especially so the upper Bands have implicit confidence in him. Thus organized we can consummate that matter to your liking, I will go & render every assistance in my power - $500 or $1000 - worth of provisions will be required above, and about the same amt. below to be issued whilst
