1839.- June 14. The National Council of the western Cherokees, write from Jakuttokud to John Ross & George Lowry, Chiefs of the eastern Cherokees.-They have taken up their propositions of June 13 and duly considered them. They say the eastern Chiefs say they wish to unite the people. The western National Council believe the two peopl to be already united. The western chiefs having met their brother emigrants & made them welcome to the Country, they are thereby made partakers of all its existing laws and are in every respect the same as they themselves. Since being thus taken by the hand, the people have come to the Chiefs & expressed great satisfaction with their reception.
