INDIAN DEPARTMENT,
AMUERSTBURG, 271TH Sept., 1836.

Sir,

T have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 22nd inst., and
agreeably to the instructions therein contained, I lost no time in assembling the In-
dians of the Wyandot Tribe who were not present at the Council of the 21st. I then
explained to these people the nature of the agreement which was signed by their Chiefs
and brethren. They expressed their approbation of the arrangement in terms of high
satisfaction, and signed the enclosed document, which I have now the honor to trans-
mit through you to His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor.

I take this opportunity to remind you of the Proclamation which His Excellency
wus pleased to say he would cause to be sent up to prevent trespasses being committed
on the reserve.

T have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,

GEO. IRONSIDE,

J, JosePH, Esquire, S. 1. A.
Secretary to His Excellency Sir Francis B. Head,

We, the undersigned Chiefs and others of the Moravian Tribe of Indians occupy-
ing lands on the River Thames, in the Province of Upper Canada, having had three
several Councils at which we have considered the subject of giving up to our Great
Father the King all our interest in the lands occupied by us on the north side of the
said River Thames, do now voluntarily propose to relinquish and give up the same to
our Great Father the King in consideration of his paying to us an annuity of six
hundred dollars every year on the first day of April, and also a reasonable compensation
in money to such of our Tribe as have made improvements on our said lands, such com-
pensation to be paid as soon as the value of such improvements are ascertained, and
«n order to testify our consent to this proposal we do hereby affix our respective marks

this twenty-fifth day of October, in the year 1836.
