Washington City, September 10, 1833
Sir
I have the honor of enclosing to you a copy of the report made to the commissioners by Kendall Lewis and
Frederick Sangrain, who were appointed to value and appraise certain
improvements of the Creek Indians who would be compelled to remove, in conformity
with the provisions of the treaties concluded between that tribe and the United
States at Fort Gibson, on the 14th February, 1833. I also enclose the
report of Captain Nathan Boone, of his field notes of a survey of the
boundary line between the Creek and Cherokee Indians, as settled by their late
treaties with the United States, with a map of the survey.
As the running of the "boundary line between the Creeks and Cherokees," and the "valuation of the Creek improvements", were made under directions of the Commissioners of Indian Affairs, in accordance with the stipulations of the treaties of 14th February, 1833, I have been instructed to lay the reports before you, in order that they might be brought, with the proceedings in council, before the President and Senate, should you deem it necessary, in presenting the treaties for confirmation.
I have the honor to be
Very Respectfully
Your obedient servant
S. C.
Stambaugh
Secretary Commissioner Indian Affairs
