“Brother, now you told me you have heard of that good agreement, that has been agreed to, at the treaty at Easton; and that you have put your hands to it, to strengthen it, so that it may last for ever. Brother, you have told me, that after you have come to hear it, you have taken it to heart, and then you sent it to me, and let me know it. Brother, I would desire you would be pleased to hear me, and I would tell you, in a most soft, loving and friendly manner, to go back over the mountain, and to stay there; for, if you will do that, I will use it for an argument, to argue with other nations of _Indians_. Now, brother, you have told me you have made a road clear, from the sun-set to our first old council fire, at _Philadelphia_, and therefore I should fear nothing, and come into that road. Brother, after these far _Indians_ shall come to hear of that good and wide road, that you have laid out for us, then they will turn and look at the road, and see nothing in the way; and that is the reason that maketh me tell you to go back over the mountain again, and to stay there; for then the road will be clear, and nothing in the way.” Then he addressed himself to the Governor of _Pennsylvania_, as follows; “Brother, give good attention to what I am going to say; for I speak from my heart; and think nothing the less of it, though the strings be small.[103] “Brother, I now tell you what I have heard from you is quite agreeable to my mind; and I love to hear you. I tell you likewise, that all the chief men of _Allegheny_ are well pleased with what you have said to us; and all my young men, women and children, that are able to understand, are well pleased with what you have said to me. “Brother, you tell me that all the Governors of the several provinces have agreed to a well established and everlasting peace with the _Indians_; and you likewise tell me, that my uncles, the _Six Nations_, and my brethren the _Delawares_, and several other tribes of _Indians_ join with you in it, to establish it, so that it may be everlasting; you likewise tell me, you have all agreed on a treaty of peace to last for ever; and for these reasons I tell you, I am pleased with what you have told me. “Brother, I am heartily pleased to hear that you never let slip the chain of friendship out of your hands, which our grandfathers had between them, so that they could agree as brethren and friends in any thing. “Brother, as you have been pleased to let me know of that good and desirable agreement, that you and my uncles and brothers have agreed to, at the treaty of peace, I now tell you I heartily join and agree in it, and to it; and now I desire you to go on steadily in that great and good work, you have taken in hand; and I will do as you desire me to do; that is, to let the other tribes of _Indians_ know it, and more especially my uncles, the _Six Nations_, and the _Shawanese_, my grandchildren, and all other nations, settled to the westward.
