Now I have all pages. Let me produce the transcription from the full document. [undecipherable] 41 Conference with the American [undecipherable] Chiefs. At the Conference and [undecipherable] at [undecipherable] Indian Tribes [undecipherable] the [second] of December 179[6] except the Nation who was sick[undecipherable]. When the Secretary of War addressed them in the following Speech: Brothers, The President of the United States, your father who loves you as his Children, has heard the request which some of you have made to him, and agreed that you should all meet in one Assembly, to Strengthen before him, as a solemn Witness, that Chain of friendship which ought to connect you together, and which he wishes may continue like the Sun, always bright. The great Spirit, on whom your father the President, and the people of the United States adore, requires from Men of every Color and language, that they should live in peace and love each other. Nations which engage in war and forsake this path are sure to be hurt, though they should kill a great many of those they fight against; for war is a fire that burns the large Trees as well as the small ones. To avoid this terrible fire, good Chiefs and wise Men, whenever a dispute or difference happens between the people of their respective Nations, will meet, and try to have it settled, in a peaceable [undecipherable]; and rather than go to War, will give up something to which they think they have a right. By observing this line of [undecipherable] and strictly performing all its promises, a Nation may avoid a War, that might cost it more lives and property, than the thing about which it [undecipherable] was worth. Your father the President wishes if any of you have any differences to settle, to remember this rule, and recommends it to you to hold fast the chain of friendship, which now unites you in peace, and which he wishes never to be broken. Brothers, you will now proceed to Business. — Chisouiba — [undecipherable] [undecipherable] — [undecipherable] spoke: I heard his [Speech?] to end with the Chickasaws. I will take my father's advice and every thing shall be right. Capt. Chickasaw took the same talk to my Nation as the one now delivered — all shall be [straight?]. Captain Chickasaw should be loved by us, he was the occasion of our having shaken hands. Col. John Walls, a [undecipherable]: I am happy to hear my father's talk — it has given me a great deal of Satisfaction. Red Pole: The children of the President of the United States who have come a great way to see him, have heard what he has had to say, and I hope that they are all pleased with what he has delivered to them. As for the Cherokees and Creeks, [undecipherable], [undecipherable], &c we are all here met together — this is more than I expected when at home, but thanks to the great Spirit we are all here assembled together. I have [undecipherable] to the [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] that have already [undecipherable] to them — I now confirm what I have spoke to them — I wish that we may be all as one people, and this the general wish of all the western Indians that they should be at peace with one another. My younger Brothers, [undecipherable] is here all speaks [undecipherable] in any thing necessary for me to add. I am ready to come forward and speak it. I wish that no part of my good father's advice should ever be forgotten, and that the [talks?] should continue for our [undecipherable]. (The Deputies of the Creek Nation shook hands with the above [undecipherable] of the, in order afterwards, to shake hands with the Chickasaws.) A Day [undecipherable], a [undecipherable] — We are all assembled here to-day — it [undecipherable] by the Great Spirit above that we should meet in the presence of our elder Brothers. As for my part, I am a younger Brother — I am told that we have now met again in this White House in the presence of the Secretary of War. I have already spoken and, delivered Talks to the [undecipherable] and I will now speak to them again — Talks have been some time and are now passing between us [undecipherable] and the Chickasaws — By the death of some of the [headmen?] of our [Nation?] that were formerly given, were lost; they have since been found — the road is open and [undecipherable] between our different Nations; [undecipherable] we have met with great [pleasure?], we do not think of them too — Talks have been sent by our Nation to the Chickasaws to [hold?] the former peaceful times; have been [invited?] [undecipherable] — they have been [sent?] by their Nation to the Chickasaws to inform them of it. This is all that I have to say — I would only wish to inquire of the Chickasaws respecting the[se?] [prisoners?] they have taken from us. ([undecipherable] replies they were all — [undecipherable].) [undecipherable] my [Nation?] — [Capt?] [undecipherable] brought his [people?] to a feeling of hearing good Talks. When the red people are done speaking, if our Father has any thing to say, we will [take?] it. Wills [undecipherable] [families?] [undecipherable] two [countries?] [undecipherable] brought us here with [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] no [undecipherable] we have had some [experiences?] [undecipherable] [Brothers?], by the great Spirit [undecipherable] with the Chickasaws — [undecipherable] [undecipherable] I now speak before [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [re?]storation [undecipherable] is forever done [undecipherable] at once given [undecipherable] [undecipherable] us as formerly. I will now [drop?] the [Western?] Indians — [I?] not expect to meet them here. The advice we received [undecipherable] them [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] just one another of [undecipherable] this [undecipherable] that [undecipherable] [undecipherable] be done — the talk is worth [undecipherable]. I wish you all to remember it — [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] from old times this land belonged to the [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] may be no more [quarrel?] about [undecipherable] for my part lands are almost all gone — I have but [undecipherable] [undecipherable] remaining — I request that both the red and [white?] [people?] would listen to and hold fast the talks now delivered [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] of [undecipherable] I am sure you [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] from our [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] our [Nation?] [undecipherable] and the [undecipherable]. [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] If their [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [Whites?] to attend to and [enter?] this [Nation?] [undecipherable] here on the [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [Chickasaws?] [undecipherable] the Northern [undecipherable] now [proceed?]. I am [able?] to [state?] [undecipherable] and deliver you this talk and I am greatly [undecipherable]. [undecipherable] when to [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] more things of this may be known among us not in darkness, and no [undecipherable] [undecipherable] to remember that we are all Red People and ought ever to [encourage?] in peace with each other. The [undecipherable] [undecipherable] among my part [undecipherable] I see any other [appears?] to be [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] inclined to the next Nation. I am [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] in any other. All I now have [undecipherable] of what I have [undecipherable] and I hold this talk [undecipherable] ready [undecipherable] [undecipherable] dangers. [undecipherable] Miller, a [Choctaw?]: I request [undecipherable] and [undecipherable] and have a word to speak to you.

I hope that the talks and the health may ever [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] and no blood to run again [undecipherable] as [undecipherable] by the Creeks [undecipherable] [undecipherable]. The [Christians?] got him by hunting — and in [event?] of when we are often obliged to pass to the [Choctaw?] Country — when we pass through that, we arrive at the hunting Grounds of the [Chickamaw?] Indians, who sometimes do us damage — I am glad to meet them in Council this day. I hope they will never again do us any injury. Unless the [Chickasaw?] listen. When I was a Boy there was a friendly white talk — this had [undecipherable] on their [claim?]. It now revives it with a string of [white?] [beads?] and hope it will be everlastingly [re?]membered. I have had no dispute with my Brothers this nor past. As I am [undecipherable] [undecipherable] the causes [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [possibly?] [undecipherable] I said it may be one or two or [undecipherable] and express it in the presence of the [representatives?] of our Nation. ([undecipherable] to [undecipherable]) I [urge?] and [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] prevailed to call the Nations [undecipherable] [undecipherable] where to maintain them on their meeting grounds. Col. Ann Walls, a [undecipherable]: I request my elder Brothers the [Whites?] — [undecipherable] to honour to witness — my Brothers the [undecipherable] — [undecipherable] my Nephews the Chickasaws to witness — the [Creeks?] to witness. I now attended [undecipherable] have heard to want him to said — I now request of you attention. We are met [undecipherable] here, and exchange [undecipherable] of different languages — and yet these are all alike — we are [a bundle?], in the presence of the [Whites?]. I hope the [ties?] [promise?] will [repeat?] the talks they have delivered — for my part I am [determined?] to fulfill them — the talks have been more in the person of the [Whites?]. I hope that each [person?] spoken [undecipherable] — I hope the peace may be preserved and maintained, [undecipherable] our parts have [enjoyed?] by both parties — our blood has been spilled. It affects me greatly to see our people placed upon the ground. I even have after the last [undecipherable] and any Man — [undecipherable] and [take?] up the hatchet. I [suffice?] to prefer [undecipherable] [undecipherable] and then [undecipherable] that our [undecipherable] not intention was the occasion of it — I [determined?] to [undecipherable] to my father when I come here in this [year?] the flames [were?] [by?] lessen of friendship could be brightened. The red people are all here on our own [business?]. I have been in [undecipherable] before and have [undecipherable] [undecipherable] Father and brighten them of goodness. I was [take?] hold of it in present time — and [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] to the Chickasaws [taken?] them. ([undecipherable]) I repeat here is any — Express the Chickasaws who have [undecipherable] [undecipherable] need — they never ever were — as considered as with a peace — they are some acts that the man of our nation. I deliver them themselves make their [undecipherable] may others the talk and to us consider against of the Nations on many manner offered to our Nation it. ([undecipherable] strong.) [undecipherable] [Capt?] [undecipherable]: Younger Brothers the [Creeks?] — [Chickasaws?]: You have ordered us as these ways our father have given at [undecipherable] orders — My father has since heard the sentiments of our other Brothers. You my Brothers the [Cherokees?] have also been heard. You are [undecipherable] his desires of that peace which Talks had said and I come to our [undecipherable] [undecipherable] on any claim to the [disputed?] [undecipherable]. The Chickasaws have also the strings of [undecipherable] as which they will [submit?] to their people the friendliness [undecipherable] from the [undecipherable] — and the women the things near you may your performed that what you have said [undecipherable] shall is to our [undecipherable] to all your own the Brothers and as I have said you you have all heard the speeches of your Western Brothers and they have devoted from them. Brothers, I now return you all thanks for the talk you have delivered this day, in the presence of our fathers the Americans — I am glad that you have all spoken with one voice — I am certain nothing can be more [pleasing?] to the people I represent than to hear the talks delivered this day. I came here on good [business?] and find that there is a great deal of good [business?] here. Brothers, you that are all present — I thank the great and good [spirit?], the presence of all [Nations?] for [permitting?] [undecipherable] to meet [undecipherable] together this day. Brothers, I will now inform you of a [small?] part of what I have [said?] to your great and good father and also [mention?] what he said to me. Our great and good father was as indeed a great Man — he takes care [undecipherable] [undecipherable] as [undecipherable] old Children — he has provided [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] inducing you to [save?] and in his [undecipherable] — our [undecipherable] lands were good and that we should take care of them — the [friends?] which are [jolly?]. If our lands were not good. The other Nations would not have become so great a Nation as they are now. I hope the requests made on behalf of any Nation may be granted. I [take?] the Secretary of War that I have any young [undecipherable] a time too small to think to have the lands of the United States used in peace against them. Our only way therefore is to [undecipherable] our red people from running the frontiers and stealing the property of the citizens of the United States. The President has requested us to do more than [undecipherable] [undecipherable] in the Treaty — to keep up [undecipherable] [undecipherable] understanding [undecipherable] and [undecipherable] [white?] people — he has promised in the course of his [undecipherable] that he will exert himself to keep up a good understanding [undecipherable] between his White and Red people — and also among the [undecipherable] people [undecipherable] with one another. I hope the [whites?] will not give the [undecipherable] cause [undecipherable] I will [undecipherable] themselves in his [measures?]. [undecipherable] any [strong?] thing to the [words?] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable]: I [wish?] to express [any?] [undecipherable] and the Secretary [of War?] [that?] the [undecipherable] belief has [promised?] to [explain?] the [undecipherable] to his People. There is a [grievance?] [undecipherable] among [undecipherable] the [themes?] [undecipherable] has taken by them from the [Chickasaws?]. I was [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] I will [undecipherable] with the [success?] of [undecipherable]. This is all that I have to say. [undecipherable] [undecipherable] Brothers and [undecipherable], I [speak?] to you all that are here [present?] [undecipherable] our [father?] [Mother?] you have delivered this day — you [undecipherable] heard my [brief?] speech — what he says is [permanent?] [undecipherable] — [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] back [undecipherable] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] things is [undecipherable]. [undecipherable] Dea. I am hungry, it is time to break up. [undecipherable] [undecipherable] marriages, a Chickasaws. I wish to remain a little longer. The Red people have all promised their [Nation?]. I hope they will [undecipherable] them [undecipherable] all at home — and if they break these [others?] [undecipherable] to [condemn?] [undecipherable] to the [former?] [before?] [undecipherable] — by this means [peace?] will be preserved — if any of the Red people [visit?] and [call?] any damage — let them [undecipherable] the [persons?] [undecipherable] the [Villain?] and [account?] for [satisfaction?] before they [make?] it [undecipherable] — I [speak?] to the Red [People?]. [Preserve?] the [Creoles?] [undecipherable] — the [Friendly?] is [undecipherable] with them and they will [be?] [apt?] by their [undecipherable] to [be?] [warlike?]. This is all I have to say.
