It has
this effect upon the white people who drink
it and will have the
same effect upon you
Brethren we believe that the good Spirit
placed all men on this earth
as brothers and that
it is their duty to do all the good they can to
each
other it is altogether on the ground that we are
made
willing to contribute a part of what we have obtained
by
our industry in order to assist our Red Brothers
it is this that has
made us anxious to convince you
that you would be much happier if
you would lay
aside your present mode of living and adopt
the
more certain and less laborious mode of living by
the
cultivation of the earth
Brethren we always told you that in sending
our young men into your
country to show you how
to use the tools which your chiefs saw in
the Lands
of the white people we did not seek our advantage
we
now again give you this assurance and hope
you will be convinced
that in doing it never had
any object in view but your own good
Brethren It is our desire that you will keep
this paper which we now
send you as a document
in your hands that we have no claim on you
or
your children who may come after you for our
services and
will never ask any lands or other
rewards from you or
them
avoid all kinds of Whiskey- By this you will in
a few
years find yourselves surrounded by the same
plenty
that you saw in the families of the white
people
