differences existing between our people
or society and the inhabitants of upon honorable and constitutional
principles.
Therefore, if the said inhabitants of
Jackson County will not let us return to
our lands in peace, we are willing to
propose firstly:— That twelve disinterested
men, six to be chosen by our people and
six by the inhabitants of Jackson County,
and these twelve men shall say what
the sands [lands] of those men are worth in
that county who cannot consent to live
with us: and they shall receive their
money for the same in one year from
the time the treaty is made, and
none of our people shall enter the coun-
ty to reside till the money is paid.
The said twelve men shall have
power also to say what the damages
shall be for the injuries we have sus-
tained in the destruction of property and
in being driven from our possessions;
which amount of damages shall be
deducted from the amount for their lands.
Our object is peace, and an early
answer will be expected
