of hay and be an easy way of keeping
your Cattle --

Brothers
As we have furnish'd you with
a set of smith tools, we hope your young
men will be industrious in trying to
learn that business, that they may be
able to make and mend your tools --

Brothers
We understand that many of
your people have left of drinking Whisky
and we want to encourage you all
to quit this practice, and to keep your
minds strong against it, for we know
it has been the ruin of a great many
White people, & you know it has been
a great hurt to the Indians and helpt
to keep them poor -- but we hope many
of you have got your eyes open to see that
Whisky and other strong drinks has been
your great enemy, and we now want
you to unite together in keeping this
enemy from riseing up again, and
this we believe will be pleasing to the Great Spirit.
