seventeen Years have now PASSED away
since was opposed to you al Chippewa,
and was afterwards your prisoner and fcl.
low sufferer near Buffalo. Ye. during
that time, have never ceased to feel a
grateful recoIlf elton of your kindness to
me, and high admiration of those chi.
various feelings which animated Won in
battle. And II Is the recollection of those
surfing aud by-gone times, and the eleya-
lea LEI, opinion entertained of you by Sir
ph'neas Rail and myself which now in
cnces me to write IL yon.

their moral tone, Of their industry and re.
sources, and ct the Saxon blood. which
seemed every where squirting them into
ar''Ne and honorable existence, Induced
me IN c'edulous and evil hour to inves,
nearly all the money possessed, viz.

tos shares and Mississippi and indiana

Bull is touchy fellow when you rouse

Kali and me by your countrymen has
converted us more or less into inner;
