Buffalo August 29th 1816

Dear Sir,

Your letter from the Eastward also the one from Canandaigua of the 27th  Indians have been received.  I returned yesterday from Tuscarora, have paid them their Money.  The Chiefs at Buffalo (except Red Jacket) have come froward and received their Phelps Money.

Jacket wanted the Money to go to the Westward, but they  have used it all exec pet $100.

They a have not informed me when they are a going- in fact they are divided about going.  I shall call them together tomorrow and let them know that the Indians at the eastward are waiting to hear from them. 

 I have advised them to call on you to go with them.  Will contact you again on the Subject.  

I have but a small sum in your Bank.  The situations of the times are such at Buffalo that I must draw on the Ontario bank for the amount of the Phelps Money in your hands. - be so good as to place it there to my Credit, so as meet my draft; which will be called for next Monday.  

Yours with respect, Erastus Granger
