Washington City, July 7th, 1836. Am S. Cloud Esq Sor,In a conversation with Mr Thomas of North Carolina he informed me he had talked with you and you had stated to him that Mr John Ross's course in relation to the difficulties of your people with the government, had been shaped in great measure by the advice he had received from members of both branches of Congress, and who, when the Treaty came up to be finally acted on, and when the appropriation was voted in the lower house, acted in bad faith either to their position or in implied pledges. Was the question is now settled, except so far as individual character is concerned, it is hoped you will have no scruples in saying how true the foregoing may be, and also whatever particular fact you may be possessed of in support of the statement made by Mr Thomas;
