solicitous to get to their new homes early as possible and accordingly they
wish that a party may be permitted to proceed this fall to ascertain
whereabouts will be most advantageous for their people to be located. /KK/
It is therefore agreed that three or four persons (from each of the three
districts) under the guidance of some discreet and well qualified person or
persons may proceed during this fall to the West upon an examination of the
country.
For their time and expenses the U. States agree to allow the said twelve
persons two dollars a day each, not to exceed one hundred days, which is
deemed to be ample time to make an examination.
If necessary, pilots acquainted with the country will be furnished when
they arrive in the West.

have accounts amounting to upwards of nine thousand dollars against the
Indians who are unable to pay their said debts without distressing their
families; a desire is expressed by the chiefs that two sections of land be
set apart to be sold and the proceeds thereof to be applied toward the
payment of the aforesaid debts. It is agreed that two sections of any
unimproved and unoccupied land be granted to George S. Gaines who will sell
the same for the best price he can obtain and apply the proceeds thereof to
the credit of the Indians on their accounts due to the before mentioned
Glover and Gaines; and shall make the application to the poorest Indian
first. /MM/

others to the Choctaw Nation. /NN/
