whom we loved, and were disposed to assist as far
as our power extended either of them whom we
might find willing to accept of our aid

Brothers!
After having visited several Indian
families of the Wyandot

and Delaware Nations
and informed them of our intentions, we received
about 7 years ago a speech from our brother Tarhic
delivered at Detroit on behalf of the Wyandot
and Delaware Nations in which we were invited
to attend at San Dusky the next summer and
talk together on the subject of assisting you

Brothers
Seven of us accordingly at the time ap-
pointed made a visit to San Dusky

and in a
Council which they then had with Tarhic at his
own house, with two other chiefs and many hun-
ters, we told you that it had arrisen in our
hearts, to try and afford you some assistance in
teaching you how to cultivate your lands & make
clothing, in reply our brother Tarhic informed us
on behalf of himself and the other chiefs present
that they could not give us any answer at that
time, but would in a general council of their
chiefs and people consult together and send a
written answer to us as soon as you came to a
conclusion amongst yourselves
