C( Memorial of oir Chiefs to the Te- ylt; gislature of you* State, anti tequest si the favor of you to cause it to he tl; laid before them, with such remarks j th of your approbation as you may, in jth friendship towards us, think proper ! j'J to bestow. | !,cIn giving voluntarily our con-;,n sent for the survey of the land in n* the late Treaty, we were actuated by motives of friendship purely toward you and toward your people.No consideration ot a mercenary nature could be permitted to enter our breasts when a lav or was asked of us, particularly by your Excellency, and in b'ehalf of your people. We know the great importance it was to your people to be ready to occupy the country immediately af- h ter our removal from it, and have with true hearts of friendship acceded to your request. We would have thought it disgraceful in us to at tempt to make a condition founded on your wants or desires, a price for our acquiescence.The opportunity presented itself, and v.e hope the circumstance will have only the effect to render ourselves worthy of your esteem and ft iendship.I remain your brother and friend, (Signed) Wm.
