Street, representing the Five Nations, poses a list of questions to Creek chief McGillivray regarding the particulars of McGillivray's negotiations and agreements with the United States government. Touches on issues such as whether the U.S. president is bothered by Indians negotiating together in confederacy, and whether the U.S. is negotiating in support of the rights of the Indian people, or with purely political motivations. Street concludes the letter by stating that he is "happy to hear that [McGillivray has] made peace that will be satisfactory to [his] people, and that it will be permanent, and produce material advantages on both sides."
