Brothers,
In coming into the country of our Red
Brethren, we have come with our eyes open.
And although we are affected with sorrow, in
believing, that many of the red people suffer
much, for the want of food, and for the want
of clothing; yet our hearts have been made
glad, in seeing, that it has pleased the Great
Spirit, to give you a rich and valuable country.
Because we know, that it is out of the earth, that
food and clothing come. We are sure, bro-
thers, that, with but little labour and attention,
you may raise much more corn, and other grain,
than will be necessary for yourselves, your wo-
men, and children; and may also, with great
ease, raise many more horses, cows, sheep,
hogs, and other valuable animals, than will be
necessary for your own use. We are also con-
fident, that if you will pursue our method, in
the cultivation of your land, you will live in
much greater ease and plenty, and with much
less fatigue and toil, than attend hunting for a
subsistence.

Brothers,
We are fully convinced, that if you will
adopt our mode of cultivating the earth, and of
raising useful animals, you will find it to be a
mode of living not only far more plentiful and
