Gillett and every other gentleman with whom I " have conversed, who is acquainted with the present and " true condition of these people. And yet sir, we find persons "professing all that is benevolent, pious and good, who are " unwilling to let these people go. This treaty is truly recom- " mended by the liberality of its provisions to the Indians. It "gives them 1,824,000 acres of land in the Indian territory " west, and the sura of $400,000 for their removal and subsis- " tence, for education... and agricultural purposes, the erection 5 Digitized by CjOOQIC 34 " of mills and other necessary buildings and the promotion of " the mechanic arts, besides some minor but advantageous " provisions. In exchange, the government obtains 435,000 " acres of the best lands near Green Bay, lying on Fox River " and near the best port in Wisconsin. This land is said to " be in demand and disconnects the white settlements which "are already made in that country. The public interest " would be greatly- promoted by the early settlement of this " 435,000 acres of land with a white population ; and if it "could be brought into market, no doubt is entertained of its " being readily sold and speedily settled by an industrious " and enterprising population.
