In the War department a copy of a letter to Col. Meigs appears, dated Oct. 29th. 1808. in which Col.

5To Thomas Jefferson from Daniel Smith, 27 October 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
From the habits I have ever been accustomed to consider you in, I have ventured to address you on matters of the utmost importance to this territory and also affects the general government. That the Indians have not always been treated with justice by the whites is an undoubted truth: but since the treaties of New York and Holston with the Creeks and Cherokees I neither know nor have heard of...

Southwest Territory, 4 Oct. 1791. Letter of 12 Aug. to William Blount is received in his absence.—Provides answers to questions TJ asked relating to boundaries of Indian claims.—Rumors that Zachariah Cox has established a settlement on the Tennessee River are untrue.

9To Thomas Jefferson from Daniel Smith, 15 January 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I assure you, I feel great diffidence, in addressing a letter to you, without the formality of a personal introduction. Considering however, that the President ought to be in possession of every thing connected with all great National undertakings, & knowing, if I was to select, as I might do, our representation in Congress, as the medium of this communication, it must in that case undergo the...

Judge Campbell was at my house a few weeks ago and shewed me a letter of yours to him in which you request him to procure you a vocabulary of the Cherokee language.—Just afterwards a Chickasaw family with whom I am acquainted passed by my house, and supposing that a vocabulary of the Chickasaw language might not be unacceptable to you I made use of this opportunity to take the enclosed. I had...
