rendering you much service
Brothers We are listening to hear what you have
to say to us and have
sent you this speech appre-
hending you have not understood what has
been hereto-
fore communicated to you and lest you have
not
understood it we again ask you if you are willing
to have
your children instructed at home on your
own lands how to raise
plenty of corn, make
cloathes & build houses, to keep your old
men, your
women & Children warm when the weather is cold
and
that you may not suffer for want when game
gets scarce in your
hunting country
