Discusses the situation of Joseph Brant [spelled Brandt] of the Six Nations. Writes in full, "You know [sic] doubt have been informed of the Insult offered Brandt in New York - I find he left New York with his feelings very much wounded. Would it not be proper that Government shew a disapprobation of the act, by prosecuting in the Federal Court the aggression? The honor of the General Government is wounded, and it ought not to pass, with impunity."
