Brothers:
I am now sending you a Talk concerning my Elder Brothers of Chota, They have left their Towns, six Towns have come over here for peace where it is light and clear. The beloved men at Seneca. -
They have brought their Traders with them, the greatest thing we desire is peace - I am glad to see the beloved Men of their Traders here; I hope they may live in peace; They left their Towns that the Creeks and the White men may fight it out themselves, as I suppose they both love fighting; as for my part my Study is to take care of all the White People -
I am the Prince of Notoly
