Attend to what am now going to say; it is a
matter OF much weight. The great Kings enemies
are many, and they grow fast in number. They
were formerly Ike young panthers; they could nei-
'her oite nor scratch; We could play with Them
safely; we feared nothing they could do to us. But
now their bodies are become big the Fix & strong
as the Buffalo; they have also got great and sharp
claws. They have driven us out of our country for
Iasing part IN your quarrel We expect the great
hng viii give US another country, that our children
may live after us, and be his friends and children as
we are. Say this for us to our great King. To en-
force It, give thi, belt.

ders exact more than ever for their goods; and our
hunting is iessened by the war; that we have few
er skins TO give fer them This ruins Va. Think of
some remedy. We are poor and you have plenty
OF every thing. We know you will send us powder
and guns and knives and hachets: but we also want
shirts and blankets
