Excerpt from Reply of the Delegates of the Cherokee Nation to the Demands of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs: May, 1866 Washington City, May 12, 1866. Hon. D. N. Cooley. Commissioner of Indian Affairs: Sir - The undersigned, Delegates of the Cherokee Nation, have duly considered the nine several propositions submitted to us by you yesterday, with the statement that unless we acceded substantially to all of them you would decline to make a treaty with our people, but would recommend the President to seek the accomplishment of the purposes in them expressed in some other mode, whether by act of Congress in violation of our treaties, or by a more direct mode of superior force, you did not say. Sincerely desirous of settling, at this time, all subjects requiring fresh treaty stipulations with the Government, and of yielding to it whatever may be proper for our people to concede, we regret that some of these propositions are such as to debar us from assenting to them.
