To the Chiefs and Warriors,

Brothers- Soon after I arrived home I found M. Parrish was at Canandaigua and I did not no any agreement that was made respecting the Sachems receiving their clothing which I found they wished to receive the at Genesee River.

B- I sent you a speech to be explained to you by Mr. Ransome who I found afterwards was at Geneseo- I .. the a have speech by an Indian who also took 13 quarts of whiskey in order to … some … on the death of my much .. friend (Fish carrier)

B.- I now inform you again I wish to meet you with the clothing for you at the time and plan that will be desirable to you.  I have just heard from Mr. Phelps and believe the money due to you from hi will be ready in about thrifty days from this time for the last year and this year.

B.- If we can agree to have your receive your clothing and money at once it will be best and saw trouble of meeting again.  The company who are about making settlement on Lake Erie will be here in about `18 days I have persuaded them it is best for them to hold a conference with you on the business- which they agreed to do-

Brothers- The reason to be offered on this Business I shall say nothing about until I see you which will not probably be long before we can talk to each other and then the matter must be fairly and only taken up and you will therefore make your minds easy as I hope all matters will be rightly managed.

B- You will agree on business with Mr. Parrish in regard to the [thing] and other things and he can inform me so that I hope we shall understand each other and what ever I scan do on my port I shall cheerfully do it

I am Brothers your friend,
