And Whereas it has been stated by the Cayuga Nation that they claim compensation for certain Lands at a place called the painted post alledging that the same were not sold by them, but where sold as they assert by the Seneca nation. And Whereas the said Cayuga nation have also stated that some Lands near the upper end of the Cayuga Lake had been by them given to the Pawnees, and for which they alledge no compensation has been made - Now we the said Agents do promise to report the said several statements to the Legislature of the State of New York; to the end that enquiry may be made in the premises and such measures adopted as justice may require -And the said Agents do also promise that they will represent to the Legislature of this State that the Cayugas request that Captain Chapin might have one mile square of Land part of the tract now sold by them to the State to the intent that the Legislative will in the premises may be known-And Whereas they the said Cayugas have represented that if in the one mile square there they suppose there is a Silver mine, some difficulties might arise as to the working of the said mine, We do promise to recommend to the Legislature that such provision may be made in the premises, as ah all assure to the Cayuga Nation a full participation of the advantages ensuing from such Mine.
