Book Description
Jefferson, Secretary of State, writes Knox to hastily give his thoughts on the treaty of Hopewell, the act of cession of N. Carolina and the act of acceptance by Congress. States that Congress's act of acceptance followed the Treaty of Hopewell, and that North Carolina can not use their right of preemption to take away the right of occupation of the Cherokees. The question would be a disagreeable one between the general government, a particular government, and individuals. Jefferson thinks purchasing from the Cherokees the right of occupation is one solution. Docketed by Knox.

Book Description
Addressed to General Stephens. (Possibly to General Adam Stephen, whose name is often misspelled Stephens.) Discusses Indian policy, stating [t]he affairs of the Cherokee Indians are peculiarly perplexed, and require a stronger arm to put them into a proper train than is proposed the present government ... Mentions a previous treaty with Congress made in 1785. States that he is happy Stephens approves of the new government, and writes it seems the only mean[s] to avoid the horror and miseries of the weakness of our present situation - New Hampshire, Massachusetts & Connecticut - New Jersey Pennsylvania and Delaware will probably adopt it before the duration of the month of Jany. I hope that Virginia will relish it better than it is reported she does at present. Finishes by stating, A war between France and England seems inevitable and great probability of a general war in Europe.

Book Description
William, attending to business in Henry's absence, reports on white settlers' infringement on Cherokee lands in the western territories. Congress recently directed Knox to prepare troops to protect the Cherokees (the troops are to march from Ohio to Chota, a Cherokee town in present-day Tennessee). The troops are to disperse Congress's proclamation among white settlers in the vicinity of the hunting grounds secured to the Cherokees by the treaty concluded between them and the United States Nov. 28th 1785... William has sent copies of the proclamations to the Northwest Territory via Mr. Heckenwelder (possibly John G. Heckewelder), a missionary from the Moravian Society at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, who had come to the War Department seeking protection for land surveyors (including Thomas Hutchins). Heckenwelder will deliver the proclamations to Arthur St. Clair, Governor of the Northwest Territory, and to General Josiah Harmar (at Fort Harmar in Ohio). Notes that Congress has also ordered the Governor of North Carolina to proceed against the persons concerned in the lawless depredations on the frontier Indians of that State. Comments on John Sevier's abuses, referring to his unauthorized negotiations with Indians and white settlers in the State of Franklin (part of present-day Tennessee). Predicts that action taken against Sevier may induce him to become another [Daniel] Shays.
