from then until the actual attack was made on
Fowl Town,- the same General, with General
J.►ckson, seemetrlO have been collecting troops,

" 'l'o the Seminole Chief—Your Seminoles are
-very bad people ; I don't say whom. You have
murdered many of my people, and stolen my cattle
and many good horses, that cost Me money ; and
mlny good houses, that cost me money, you have
burnt for me ; and now thai you see' my writing,
yule!! think I have spoken right. I know it is
so ; yOti know it •is so, or now you may say I
will gu upon yon at random ;. but just give me the
murderers, and I will show them my law, and when
- that is finished and pass, if you will come about
any of my people, you will see youriliends, and if
you see me you will see your friend. But there
is something our in the sva, a bird., with a forked
tongue; whili him back before he lands, for he
will be the ruin of you yet. Perhaps you do not
know who or what 1 mean—l mean the name of

" I tell you this, that if you do not, give me
up the murderers who have murdered my people,

If you give we leave to go by you against them,
not hurt any thing belonging to you.
