directed him to go and that he would go if he
had to go through a lake of fire Mr. Williams

had always told the Nation that they ware not
worthy to speak to the bishop but we have pres-
umed to address him as a friend and father

Father
We would come to a close by stating that
the Chiefs of both parties are assembled and unite in
this request to you for aid in this time of Trial
We hope you will give us a gracious hearing and
relieve your Obedient Children from this burthen of
Grief of which we complain.

Farewell.
