Brother--You have told us. that we had
nothing to do with the war that has taken
place betweenyou andt British :: but we
find the war has come TO our doors. Our
property is taken possession of by the Bril-
fish and their Indian friends. 1t is neces-
sary now for US TO take up the business, de-
tend our property, and drive the enemy
from it. If we sit still upon our seats and
take no measures OF redress, the British
(accorting to the customs OF you, white
people) will hold il by conquest and
should you conquer the Canadas, you will
claim it upon the same principles, as con-
qlered from the British. We therefore.
request permissi n TO so with our arriors,
ana drive off these bad people, and tax 2
possession of our lands.
