NOTE. In addition to the above, there is a permanent annuity of 150 bushels of salt to the Delawares, Shawanees, Pottawatomies, Miamies, Kickapoos, Eel Rivers, Weas, Piankashaws and Kaskaskias Indians, per treaty 7th June, 1803; and 160 bushels to the Miamies per treaty of 6th October 1818, the usual cost of which has been $2.50 per bushel, at Fort Wayne. The Kickapoos, per treaty of 30th August, 1819, relinquished to the United States their proportion of the salt annuity under the treaty of 7th June, 1805; but this department is not yet advised of the exact amount thereof by the Indian agent, who will attend to the proper deduction upon the distributions subsequent to the treaty of 30th August, 1819.
