After he had done speaking each
of our company had some further
remarks to make tending to strengthen
them in their Good resolutions,
and
encourage them to persevere in habits
of industry and Sobriety, to
all which
the Chiefs Warrier particularly replied --
addressing each
of us,& first rehearsing what
we had said nearly verbatim,
& concluded
with saying, "he hop'd the Great Spirit
would preserve us in as good health as
we now were, till we got home to
our
wives & Children, & that on our arival
we might find them
all well and all
the Great men at our Counsel in Phila
We then shook hands with them &
ended the Counsel which was the
most satisfactory one we have had
among the Indians, the most of them
being sober solid looking Men, and
the Chief Warrior a man of grave
deportment retentive memory &
sound Judgement fully capable of
retaining every thing we had communicated
