Chief Ross turned in his estimation of expenses for our emigration. It amounts to about $65 per person to remove the remaining 12,000 of our people who are in the stockade camps. Thus far, General Scott has informed him, the army has spent $600,000 for the expenses of feeding and housing us and for the spring removals. This $600,000 has already been deducted from the monies set aside to pay us for our land in the Treaty of New Echota. The costs of emigration will also be deducted from the treaty monies.

All of this information has been made public by Superintendent Ross at the General Council.
