May 3d 1824
Sir
In compliance of your Request I have Called on Carrete and sent
for Spanish John and Read the Treaty and had it interpreted and
after Giving a Talk he agreed to Sign the Treaty and Said he would
Move out of the Settlement in a few days, but he told me he wanted
to see you before he Started. I gave him a Copy of the Treaty which
he will shew to you I Told him verry posetively that after he had
signed the Treaty he must Comply with it he appeared Verry
Humble and agreed to the Contents of it saying it was good Chino also
signed it Saying he was an old Captain. Carrete wants me to write
to you to give him some Tobacco Corn and powder you Can do as
you please about that— I Read the Treaty to the people at our
meeting the other day at Rossen [Rawson] Allys they were all well
pleased with it—- I do think a good one for which some of us gives
you our thanks—
The people of our Destrict tried to Elect their officers on the day
apointed but were so much devided they Could not do it. the Lower
and upper end of the Destrict is so much devided I think it will be
best to separate us and let the big Lake on the Colorado be the
division there will then be about 30 men in Each Destrict and the people
will all be better sattisfied—they were all well sattisfied with the
Consitution the governors proclamation and your adress and said
nothing against your letter, the most of them ware there and all
Took the oath—and rejoiced etc
