'1 For the purpofe of fupply mg the Cher o-'

the Indians' are already atcuftomed to refort

final choice, of the trading poft; irijthat quar
ter, is referred to governbr Elouht with
a reliance on his knowledge and judgment to
fix it in the place mofr. fuitable for eiFedingl
the true objects of the eltablilhment. '
It is obvious that iTeitf the Chickalaws
nor Choctavs, efpecially the latter, caii be
much bebe'ited by thefe arrangemead ; nor
r"r3anthey be well accomodated, unt4jit leal;
one trading poit for each, be eftablilhed on'
the Millnippi. , ; .
: But belides that, circumftances did not ad
rait of taking fuch polls, the wUole quantity
of goods appnriated to this trade would not
allow, of anySfcer Uiviiioiv, than that above
mentioned.
It has been unfortunate that this, trade
could ;not have been earlier commenced
but after procuring the "goods neceffary for
general Wayne's treaty , and the annuity due
to the Chickafaws, with foine . fupplies acci
dentally demanded foe the Choitaws ad
Chickalavvs, by deputations fro n thole tribes ;
the merchant's ftore s were fo drained, that
the. requisite ailortments, efpecially of the
articles molt important lor the Indian trade,
could not be obtained, either at Philadelphia,
New-Yorkof'BalJmore ; and the purvey
orjasolSliged to wait the arrival of the fall
-llrips Then, as foon as the purcliafes could
be made, and that Very-trufty p'erfons necef
iary as factors could be procured, the goods
were, lent olt, under their care, to their re
fpective deftinations ': they are now on their
way. ' , v
The Secretary of War begs leave to re
