1790, December 1:  The speech of the Cornplanter, Half-Town, and the Great-Tree, Chiefs and Councillors of the Seneca nation, to the Great Councillor of the Thirteen Fires. - Refers to Washington as the town destroyer. Wish to open their hearts. Mention Treaty of Fort Stanwix. Mentions the resentment toward Six Nations for supporting British during Revolutionary War. Refers to past broken promises regarding treaty lines drawn by Commissioners. Mention John Livingston and Mr. Phelps and dubious land claims and threats of war. Phelps never paid what he promised. Indians ask, "where is the land which our children, and their children after them, are to lie upon." State that they know that the United States is strong, and have heard that Washington is wise. Ask for an answer, that they may know that he is just. - https://wardepartmentpapers.org/s/home/item/41016
