Porter, December 8, 1828, (ISL:Tipton Papers) Clinton, Vermillion County, Indiana; Sir, As a citizen of Indiana I presume you will not take it amiss in me representing to you the conduct of John Tipton, Indian Agent, late of Fort Wayne, when the agency was removed from Fort Wayne it was thought that it would throw into circulation a considerable Share of the money paid out to Indians and thereby benefit the inhabitants of the upper Wabash Settlements, but the fact is there is a complete monopoly amongst a few of Tiptons creatures. I deem all important that his conduct should be thoroughly investigated on the following points. First in paying the Indians their annuities in collecting all the five frank pieces and paying them to the Indians for dollars thereby making a specualtion of $1000 for every $1600 paid out and likewise for allowing from 50 to 57 per cent to two Merchants in Terre-Haute on the Louisville prices when they could have been bought much lower; if you should require any evidence on the subject I will refer you to Zachariah Shecott, Esquire Kelso, and Doctor John Durkee and B.
