As my younger brother of the New-England Indians, who have settled in our vicinity, are now going to visit
their friends, and to move up part of their families that are left behind, we send this belt by them,
to open the road wide, clearing it of all obstacles, that they may visit their friends, and return to
their settlements here in peace.
We Oneidas are induced to this measure, on account
of the disagreeable situation of affairs that way,
and we hope, by the help of God, they may go and return
in peace.
