Speech
Brother, Possess your mind in peace. You are sensible that in affairs of importance,
omissions may be made, and that a person is allowed afterwards to correct them.
You have greatly encouraged us, by promising to watch over our peace, and to provide for our welfare. It is probable, that when we have completed our business here, some bad men may break over the fence you have set around us. There are, excuse us Brother, some bad men among the white people of this Island. They may not hear your voice as far as our country, we therefore propose that Peter Ryckman, our child, may live amongus in your behalf, look at our affairs, and watch over our interests.
You have now heard our minds, and the resolutions we had formed before we left our country. I only act here as an agent, by the request of my brothers the Cayugas, and I am now released from my engagements.
