Chain of Friendship:
you said it was not a
Chain of Iron, but that is was a chain
of
precious Metal, a chain of silver, which would
bind us in
brotherly affection forever,
Brethren; you then said, That this Chain
of Friendship would bind us
together so fast
that we should never part. It is our
sincere
wish that the Chain of Friendship so made
should never
be Broken, nay not by the efforts
of the evil Spirit himself.
Brethren; These are only a few words that
I recollect of a great many
that were said at
that time and place. We have no records or
place
of security for our Speeches as you have—Nor
can we write
as you do—Our Belts of Wampum
are our only records, But if you
examine your
old Books and papers you will there find
written
all that passed between your Forefathers and ours
Brethren listen
The Wyandat Nation
Brethren, are happy to hear that you have not
forgot what our Grandfathers agreed on at that time
We have often heard—That you were a good and
Faithful People, ever
ready to do Justis and good to all
