Clu-rok-e Nation fl.35 per acre for its title, claim or in terest good or bad. to all tbe land i-miiruceti 1:1 what is known as tbe Cherokee Outlet, ut-t of the Arkansas river including the Ian t .:i which other Indians are now located, rfiiluct lag from the amount of purchase money t!.t sums the United States has already p.n! to :.ke Cherokees on account of the lands in the o-itlet west of the river and that offer covered ail the lands west of the Arkansas river within th boundaries of the Cherokee patent, or tLe ,. teenth article of the treaty or 1H. Your Government knows ami so doe th Government of the United States know wut lands lie west of the Arkansas river to v!nc;i the Cherokee Nation make any chum. Thf re can be no misunderstanding on th:it ivr..rt Your Government knows and so does th Government of the United States know ju how much money has been heretofore p:rd oi account of lands tn the outlet west f tfc" Ar kansas river. There can be no possib e ic w -derstanding on that point. The act of Conr and the instructions of this Comrniv-on. wh: h have been outlined in a former letter, show ' actly the extent of the authority of ihw C m mission. So there can be no misumlcr-.t:inu.-.4 otr that point. We note your observations upon the historv of the claim, title or interest of th- Cherol;, Nation in or to said lands, but we mo-:t rc-pvi t fully call your attention to the fact that th-i-effects do not raise the question of the off- r .r 11.25 per acre whether the title, clr.im r interest is Kood. bad or indifferent. The i sec tion as to what if any title the Chcrohe- Na tion has tothee lands would come ui f.r I -.- cussion if the Uniteil States were necotiuLc for this purpose with the question of ut. in view, but in makinjr tins, offer and for the purpose of this o:Tfr only, it waives any and all adrantaee it m:i;!it have in such negotiations Riven to theCIieruIw Nation for this occasion advantage of ary trouble or question which may exist in th na ture of their title, claim or interest in or to n e lands of the Poncas, Pawnees, Sez I'ercvs ami Otoes and Missouns. The object or the Unite-l States in including tho.se lands in its o:It w.i to clear away any possible claim of title o: the part or tho Cherokees to those 1-uids now or hereafter and to make the titles of the tribes :. their land perfect beyond question end give to the Cherokee Nation the advanta? receiving 51.25 per acre for such lan-'s. V Ing for this occasion the right of the U States to settle for these lands at the app: mereoi nereioiore made oy tne reluent for the remainder of the Outlet which b same treaty and appraisal the Government has the right to settle friendly Indians upon: th reason for including these lands in the o2 r was so apparent that we did not think and do not think now any explanation was necessary. We do not see how any tpUunderstandinjj is possible on that point. We also note your observation as to tho necessity ot a change in certain provisions of your Constitution dating from 139 befr.-s the Cherokee Nation can take effective action upon this offer. This proposition is a surprise to n. The treaties since 1K59 make transfer of land in Kansas nnd lands in this Territorv. and nro- vide for transfer by the National Council of other Cherokee lands in Arkansas and States east of the Mississippi. The validity or this transfer has never been questioned by the Cherokee Nation and it has received and re tained the purchase money therefor without qnestion. The transfer under the present offer would, we think, be as valid as thoe were, and tho United States will be entirely satisfied with a transfer confirmed by the National Council. It will be the duty of the Commission and will give the members thercor pleasure to re turn to Tahlequah when the National Council meets ia November next and be ready to com plete a treaty embodying this offer in case- the offer is accepted bv that body. The Commis sion will leave Tahlequah to-morrow moraii.g to pursue its labors in other parts or the Terri tory. Its address will be for soms time in care of Dr. Bennett, the Indian agent. Returning our thanks for the hospitable en tertainment which has served to run tr cr 6tay in this Nation so agreeable to us. wtr have the honor to te yours, very rspectfiilly, Lrcics FAiKciiiLn, A.
