given through their agent, of their wishes upon this subject, before
their removal, that time may be afforded to supply the demand.

Article VI. The Seminoles being anxious to be relieved from the
repeated vexatious demands for slaves, and other property, alleged
to have been stolen and destroyed by them, so that they may remove
unembarrassed to their new homes, the United States stipulate to
have the same property (properly) investigated, and to liquidate
such as may be satisfactorily established, provided the amount does
not exceed seven thousand ($7,000) dollars.

Article VII. The Seminole Indians will remove within three (3) years
after the ratification of this agreement, and the expenses of their
removal shall be defrayed by the United States, and such subsistence
shall also be furnished them, for a term not exceeding twelve (12)
months after their arrival at their new residence, as in the opinion
of the President their numbers and circumstances may require; the
emigration to commence as early as practicable in the year eighteen
hundred and thirty-three (1833), and with those Indians at present
occupying the Big Swamp, and other parts of the country beyond the
limits, as defined in the second article of the treaty concluded at
Camp Moultrie Creek, so that the whole of that proportion of
the Seminoles may be removed within the year aforesaid, and the
remainder of the tribe, in about equal proportions, during the
subsequent years of eighteen hundred and thirty-four and five (1834
and 1835).

In testimony whereof, the commissioner, James Gadsden, and the
undersigned chiefs and head-men of the Seminole Indians, have
hereunto subscribed their names and affixed their seals.
