British Commissioners Reply on Indian Boundary and Great Lakes Frontier
The British plenipotentiaries inform the U S plenipotentiaries they cannot conclude on Indian specification and boundary without American instructions. They propose a provisional article grounded on the Greenville boundary, seek a frontier on the lakes from Ontario to Superior, and demand mutual non fortification near shorelines with freedom of navigation. They note Lakes Superior to Ontario as the key military frontier and press for agreed terms to prevent future disputes.
