Schuylerville 15th Sept 1828 -
D Sir,
Yours of the 20th let was duly reced - I should have left home for Buffalo this day but for a severe attack of my old complaint - the Erysyphilis - Its rage has subsided under a course of medicine - but it is thought to be imprudent for me to venture out yet - Perhaps I may risque it by Friday next - Having noticed the arrival of Genl Porter I am extremely anxious to see him - Should I not arrive by the time you are ready to leave be pleased to do me the favor to see Genl P. and learn his opinion as to the propriety of my coming out - I have not recd from Mr Greig the promised statement nor heard from Shege Forward - On the other side an appt by letter has been recd - (I presume without the knowledge of the Indians) - -
After conversing with the Secy of War - please to aadvise me whether it is best to close my Report without coming out again - Present my regard to my Red brethren & assure them that the promotion of their welfare is a subject which does & I trust ever will occupy my thoughts
