Two pieces. Letter, mostly about Captain Aaron Hill, a Mohawk chief who was arrested by Congress. Brant, who was then on his way to England, heard of the capture and immediately returned to intercede for Hill. "... I have wrote letters to His Excellency Governor Clinton & to my friend Major Peter Schuyler ... I had no true account [of] the manner Capt. Hill is kept. The conclusion of that council at Fort Stanwix by the commissioners I have had no account at all... I hope those commissioners did not over sett all what you & we have settled there. I intend to be at Montreal the 10th of February ... to talk over of those agreements made at our meeting at Fort Stanwix ... I wish Major Peter Schuyler should be the person that would meet me at Montreal ...". Accompanied by a printed excerpt from The American Historical Record, Vol. 2, No. 19. July 1873 where the letter was first published and discussed, as well as a transcription and two file cards describing the letter.
