Mother, yet notwithstanding my strong
attachment to her, I am convinced that
she is a bad Woman & has been the
means of taking the Lives of some of our
People by Witchcraft. I think there
fore she ought to Die, and desire Mr.
Granger

that you will not oppose
her being put to Death. As to my
self & my Brothers we have given
her up for the Good of the Nation.
Granger said that the young man (who
was unaccustomed to speaking in public) deli
vered this Expostulatory address
with much emotion, appearing greatly af
fected--& with respect to himself he
said, as nearly as I remember his own lan
guage, that if he was to have had the World
he could not have avoided shedding Tears--
the Life of the Woman however was pre
served & said to be still living
& supported by that Son, but much
deformed by the Tortures they used upon
her. The Chief Warriors Wife paid us a Visit to
day & spent a considerable part of the Time in Spinning
with which she seems much pleasd & performs cleverly.
