December 30, 1807
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States:
I communicate to Congress the inclosed letters from Governor Hull, respecting the Indians in the vicinity of Detroit residing within our lines. They contain information of the state of things in that quarter which will properly enter into their view in estimating the means to be provided for the defense of our country generally.
TH: JEFFERSON.
