My Brother, I was sorry tliat I did not see you in Town. My Brother Bowl has no doubt sent you the word that my Nephew John, took to him from me. There is now some trouble between the Mexicans, and the Ameri- cans. I wish you to stand by the Treaty which I made with you, & my Red Brothers. I will never lie to that treaty while I live, and it must stand as long, as good man lives and water runs. I will build it up; and all men shall see it. Listen to no bad talks, and if you [hav] e trouble let me know it, and [ou] r Agent is your friend he will [tell] me all the truth- Send r me] word; of any thing that you [know]. My ears shall always [be open] to the words, of my red [brothe]rs. Tell them all that I [will ne]ver forget to remember [my Red] Brothers. Yr Brother
