During Samuel Kirkland's journey to Philadelphia with the delegation of the Six Nations, he hired Smith, an Indian interpreter and trader, to assist him. Throughout the course of the journey, Smith often paid expenses for which Kirkland would reimburse him. Although the accounts were cleared after the journey, a question, which Kirkland discusses in this letter, remained regarding the bill of Mr. Dun.
