[Footnote 100: Relating to a proposed extension of the duties of the
Home Squadron.]
WASHINGTON, _February 12, 1844_.
_To the Senate of the United States_:
I herewith transmit to the Senate articles of agreement between the
Delawares and Wyandots, by which the Delawares propose to convey to the
Wyandots certain lands therein mentioned, for the ratification and
approval of the Senate, together with the accompanying documents, marked
A and B.
My mind is not clear of doubt as to the power of the Executive to act in
the matter, but being opposed to the assumption of any doubtful power,
I have considered it best to submit the agreement to your consideration.
