Sir, 
I have received your letter of the 1st instant.  
After a full examination into the appropriations of the current year, (the estimates for which were formed, before I came into the office,) I cannot find any provision made for the payment of the $3000 promised to the Creeks, by the treaty of Fort Wilkinson, in  
1802. This sum will be remitted with the annuity of next year.  
A warrant for one thousand, five hundred dollars, has been issued in your favour [favor], to pay the annuity, agreeably to the treaty of  
1790.  
The thirty one thousand dollars

1805, and  
1818, and will be applied, accordingly.  
 
I am, Sir, very respecty. [respectfully]  Your most obedt. Servt., [obedient Servant]   
[Signed] J. [John]  C. Calhoun  D. [David]  B. Mitchell, Indian Agent, Creek Agency, Georgia.
