They have laid our young warriors on the ground which we are sorry for. We hope, as you have wrote to a good many head-men, that you would have satisfaction for us
and we have heard your good talk. We shall look to you to see it done
and not for our young warriors to say that you told them lies...We are here hungry and will be glad [when] you will send us something to eat
