We told them we had done speaking and
hop'd we fully understood each other,
that
all things were now strait and smoother
and would bid them
farewell in love
and friendship -- which we did most of the
Indians
shakeing hands with us in a friend-

who
are more dispos'd to find fault from a
disposition of Covetousness

have receiv'd from
the kindness our friends
have shown them) yet we left them pretty
much
to our satisfaction, & our friends
