MS (DLC: TJ Papers, 155:27111); undated; entirely in TJ’s hand, including bracket.
For the treaty signed on 4 July with the Wyandots (Wiandots) and other nations, see Dearborn to TJ, 29 July. The $825 annuity was intended to be perpetual, so TJ’s calculation for the total cost, which would have required only 17 installments, likely indicates the creation of an interest-bearing fund for fulfilling the U.S. obligation (, 7:88). For the treaty signed at Grouseland, see William Henry Harrison to TJ, 29 Aug. For negotiations with the Chickasaws, see Dearborn to TJ, 25 Mch. TJ sent all the treaties to the Senate for ratification in his message of 11 Dec. The administration received the treaty with the Cherokees on 19 Nov. (DNA: RG 107, RLRMS).
