I am informed that on that occasion you lost three of your powerful warriors. I do with this belt cover their dead bodies that they may not offend our sight any more and bury the whole affair in oblivion. A belt. ANSWER OF THE SIX NATIONS AND THEIR ALLIES. _Brother Warraghiyagey_, We the sachems and warriors of the Seneca nation return to you our sincere thanks for your great affection in drying our tears and driving sorrow from our hearts, and we in return perform the same ceremony to you with the like hearty affection. A string of wampum. _Brother Warraghiyagey_, We are sensible of your goodness expressed to us in removing the cause of our grief and tenderly taking the axe out of our heads. A belt. After several more speeches and presentations by the Senecas, the other nations in turn presented belts. In 1748, the general had given them a large belt upon which was an emblem of the Six Nations joined hand in hand with the English. This the speaker then took and said: _Brother Warraghiyagey_, Look with all attention on this belt and remember the solemn and mutual engagements we entered into when you first took upon you the management of our affairs. Be assured we look upon them as sound and shall on our part punctually perform them as long as we remain a people. A prodigious large belt. Taking up another large belt formerly given them by the governor of New York, he said: _Brother Warraghiyagey_, We hope our brethren, the English, will seriously remember the promises made us by this belt and exactly perform them, and we promise to do the same though we have no record but our memories. A very large belt."[16]
