To Sonyatauyes, or Handsome lake, a Seneca chief Brother, Your good father the President of the United States having seen your talk of yesterday, directs me to assure you, that his ears are ever open to the just complaints of his red children, and his heart ever disposed to afford them relief. Brother, It is not agreeable to [undecipherable] the President that the deeds securing to you the lands which have been reserved for the use of his red children, when purchased, have been made from them should have been lost, and he has instructed me to relieve your apprehensions on that subject by furnishing you with a written Instrument, which is to be considered as a General Guarantee of all the lands within the United States to which you are entitled by reservation or otherwise, with his solemn assurance, that they shall not be taken from you but by and with your consent. This paper I now on behalf of the Government of the United States present you. Brother, Having expressed to you the sentiments of your good friend and father the President, I will add my own best wishes for the progressive improvements of your red brethren and that the Great Spirit may always prosper their endeavors after still higher and greater achievements. Brother, When you are to be prepared to set out for your own Country, I will cause you to be furnished with money to make you comfortable on the path, and will desire the Government's [undecipherable] to give each of you a new shirt, like the [undecipherable] and provisions to carry you home, where you may arrive in safety and find your wives and children in health and comfort. To Captain Cornplanter. Brother, Your good father the President, instructs me to assure you, that the reports which have reached his ears, that you were no longer entitled to his confidence and friendship is totally disregarded by him. He still believes you the friend of his red children, and [undecipherable] his people, and he hopes soon to hear that you are restored to your [undecipherable] and [undecipherable] to you
