Philadelphia 31 May 1776
Sir,
Two letters from the committee for Indian Affairs, with the papers inclosed in them, which were forwarded some weeks ago, we hope have come to your hands before this time, and will remove the difficulties you mention in your letter to col. Morris, of the 16th instant. You may purchase a horse for capt. Whiteeyes, of a equal value with that taken from young Still. But we desire you to inquire into the right of Moses Watson to the latter, that he may be obliged to restore him, if wrongfully detained, or that mr Speare if he sold what was another’s property, may reimburse the money. We shall be glad to receive the intelligence you expect to obtain, and we doubt not the continuance of your diligent attention to the affairs of your department. We are, Sir, Your humble servants,
G. Wythe
James Wilson
Edward Rutledge
