To the Senate of the United States:
I lay before the Senate, for its constitutional action thereon, a treaty concluded at the Sac and Fox Agency, in Kansas, on the 2d day of September, 1863, between William P. Dole, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, commissioner on the part of the United States, and the New York Indians, represented by duly authorized members of the bands of said tribe.
A letter of the Secretary of the Interior of the 12th instant accompanies the treaty.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
APP Note: The day of this document is a guess. The original was dated only as "December 1863." There is an internal reference to December 12; December 13, 1863 was a Sunday.
