our friend would leave that to the Chiefs.

Their speaker then proceeded as follows.

Brothers,
We are very glad to hear again the same
words, which you said to us two years ago, & we are
now of the same mind we were then; we remember
your words, & we believe you are a true people. We
have heard our fathers tell that the Quakers were always
friends to the Indians & what they told us when we
were boys, we find to be true now we are old Men.

Brothers,
We are very glad & happy to hear that your
minds continue the same towards us about learning
to farm: we believe it would be good for us & 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; & sometimes
when our Minds were not right, we believe such talk,
& this made our minds feel very ugly, but now
we are concernedvinced & sorry we believed such things
& we are fully satisfied that you are true people &
we will continue to be of this mind.
Bro
