record of the proceedings of the Indian Com-mittee, from the reception of this report to the 17th of 4th month, 1801, when an account is given of a meeting, at which a committee was appointed to draft a letter to Tarhie, Buck-ingehelas, and other chiefs of the Wyandot and Delaware nations of Indians, in return for a let-ter and speech which had been received from them, which did not contain a full reply to the proposition made to the Indians in 1799. The committee supposed their communication had not been faithfully translated, and again inquired of their Red brethren: Are you willing to have your children instructed at home, on your own lands, how to raise plenty of corn, to make clothes, and to build houses; to keep your old men, your women and children warm when the weather is cold; and that you may not suffer from want when the game gets scarce in your country? Signed by GEORGE ELLICOTT, JOEL WRIGHT, ISRAEL JANNEY, GOULDSMITH CHANDLEE. Dated Baltimore, 4th month 17th, 1801. At their next meeting the Indian Committee of Baltimore was informed by a communication from Joel Wright, that nothing had been re-ceived from the Indians since the last meeting, and no business was transacted.
