some talks: all these talks I wrapped up
in my heart,
and, when I returned home to my brothers, I
com-
municated to them, faithfully, all those good things
which
you had told us you were desirous to do for us.
Friends and Brothers—I am happy to say, that
these, my red brothers,
now present with me, are
chiefs, who, in their own country, are
equally great
with myself. They were rejoiced to hear
your
words, delivered to them, through me, four years ago,
and
they are now equally glad with myself, to hear
from the mouths of
our brothers, the Quakers, the
same good words again.
Brothers and Friends—If we understand you right,
you wish to add
comfort to our women and children,
by teaching us some of your ways
of living. I am
glad that the Great Spirit has put this into
your
hearts, and am sorry that your exertions have not
yet been
successful.
Brothers and Friends—I now assure you, that you
hear the voice of the
Patawattamy
Shawanese
and Kaskaskias
wish to do any thing for any of these nations of
Indians, they will be ready, at all times, to receive
you—and we, also, will be ready, at all times, to ren-
der you any assistance in our power.
Brothers and Friends—This is the first time that
the Great Spirit has
brought us to take our brethren,
the Quakers of
Baltimore
joice to hear them mention the same things to us,
that have heretofore been mentioned to us, by our
brothers, the Quakers of Philadelphia
Brothers—I, some time past, received from our
brothers, the Quakers of Philadelphia
amongst which were two ploughs. I used them, and
did all I could to keep them from wearing out. I was
pleased with them: they have now become necessary
to be repaired. We have nobody amongst us that
can mend them, and they are now useless to me.
