To the Senate of the United States: March 22, 1864

I herewith lay before the Senate, for its constitutional action thereon, a treaty made and concluded in Washington City on the 18th instant, by and between William P. Dole, commissioner of Indian Affairs, and the Shawnee Indians, represented by their duly authorized delegates.

A report of the Secretary of the Interior and a communication of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs accompany the treaty.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Executive Office, Washington, March 22d, 1864.

Annotation

[1] Executive Journal, XIII, 456. The treaty and accompanying documents were referred to the committee on Indian affairs and ordered to be printed, but on May 4, Senator Samuel C. Pomeroy presented a remonstrance against the treaty from the Chilicothe band of Shawnees. No further action seems to have been taken.
