Gentlemen, you much deserve to have your treaty rights maintained, for I can safely assort that in no single instance have I beed requested by any of you to claim any privilego, to which you were not fairly entitled, or in any way to infringe on either the letter or spirit of those treaties, without which legitimate trade in this country could not be ensured nor the neces Bary protection for your lives and properties be secured.

Gentlemen, you have my best wishes for your future prosperity, and I trust the time is not far distant when your energies and abilities may have secured you sufficient to return to those distant homes, which wa all out here learn to love so much.

I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,

Your obedient Servant, (Sd.)-Taoxas GEORGE KNOX.
