We live far asunder, I never had the Pleasure before to see a Man of your Nation; tho’ I have often heard that you are a good People, and I am now glad to see you and take you by the Hand. Brother,

I am sorry that the Great Council Fire of our Nation is not now burning, so that you cannot now do your Business there. In a few Months the Coals will be rak’d out of the Ashes, and the Fire will be again kindled. Our wise Men will then take the Complaints and Desires of your Nation into Consideration, and take the proper Measures for giving you Satisfaction. Brother,

You have a long Journey to take before you can see your beloved Country and your own Home. I pray the great Spirit to preserve you and conduct you safely.

Who requires all the Citizens of Pensilvania that may happen to meet with Mr. Woods and the Indians under his Care, to treat them with Justice, and protect them from Injuries, they being come from far distant and friendly Nations on public Business.
