The Bearer Mr. Dromgoole being here last Summer, was intrusted with sundry Presents from this State and from myself to the principal Indians of the Cherokee Nation, which, as appears by the Answers he has now brought to our Letters, he faithfully delivered, and he interpreted and explain’d our Letters much to the Satisfaction of those People; I therefore take Leave to mention him to you as a Person who from his Knowledge of the Language and Custom of those People, is capable of being useful to the Interests of the United States in those Parts, if employed under the Superintendant as an Agent for Indian Affairs. I am informed he is a Man of Property, and has a good Character for Probity and Zeal for the Public Good. As such I recommend him to your Notice and good Counsels; and am, with great Esteem, Your most obedient and most humble Servant
