abstract
{"value"=>"He received on the 25th instant Washington's letter of the 23d; had insufficient time to make up his mind respecting the acceptance or refusal of the commission mentioned [to represent the U. S. in a conference with the Indians at Auglaise, near Detroit]; has seriously weighed reasons urging his acceptance, but the length and difficulties of the journey deter him; hopes these reasons, candidly assigned, will justify his declination of the commission."}
