and what they told us when we wer boys
we find it to be true now we are old men.

Brothers.
We are very glad and happy
to hear that your minds continue the same
towards us about learning to farm: we be-
lieve it would be good for us, and we will
try to do what you propose.

Brothers.
Now it is very true, there
are some bad people, who have spoke against
you, that you had a mind to take away
our land: and some times when our minds
were not right, we believed such talk, and
this made our minds feel very ugly, but now we
are convinced, and sorry we believed such
things: and we are fully satisfied, that you are
true people, and we will continue to be of this
mind.

Brothers, we always attend to what you
said from the beginning, we know you
want us to cultivate the ground so that
we may live comfortably, and our wishes
and desires are to what you say so far as we
are able, and to learn the farming business:
we, the chiefs are determined to do all that
we are able; but if we dont do all that you
would wish, we hope you wont get discouraged,
