your mode of living, our numbers would increase
and not diminish. In all this I perfectly agree
with you. And I hope the other chiefs will
also agree with you.

Brothers, we are pleased to hear you say
you are going to leave one of your brothers with
us, to show us in what manner you cultivate the
earth. We shall endeavor, brothers, to make
his situation amongst us as agreeable to him as
will be possible for us.

Brothers, we are convinced that the plan
you propose will be highly advantageous to your
red brethren. We are also convinced that you
have observed very justly that we shall not then
be liable to sickness. We are certain that we
shall then be able to make a more comfortable
living with less labor than at present. And I
hope that this will be the opinion of us all.

Brothers, assure your people who sent you
here, tell your old chiefs that we are obliged to
them for their friendly offers to assist us in
changing our present mode of living; tell them
that it is a work which cannot be done immediate-
