Brothers
As our desires for the wel-
fare of all our Indian
Brothers are
Strong, we want to speak a few words
more in your
Ears -- We have seen
that many of the Indian Tribes have
been
much hurt by the use of Whisky
and Other Strong drink, & we
wish
to encourage you to take up strong
resolutions to quit
the practice of
drinking it as some of your brethren
the
Senecas
much Whisky you spend your Money
your Skins and many other things
which you might buy tools to go to
farming with & also supply yourselves
with Cattle and Other useful Animals -
Brothers
While you continue to drink
Whisky & other strong
drink, you can not
expect to improve your land, or to live
comfortable but if you leave of this
practice, you will then be
able to pro-
vide yourselves a more comfortable
Liveing &
being Sober & industrious
The Great Spirit will be pleased
with
you & do you good ---
