Father! I hope you will listen to your children that come from the town situated between the two Creeks. We are of the same mind with our brethren who have Just, we beg you will have pity on us in our distress, we who inhabit the little Sciota, we are in want of many things, chiefly, Blanketts, Spirits, powder, Ball & knives.

Ouandarong (or old Baby) then rose up and spoke as follows:

Father! we can have but little to say besides returning you thanks in the name of Sastakaritze, what I shall deliver is in the name of the Wyndotts & Miamis.

Father! we thank our brothers, the Outawaas, Chippewas and Potawatomies for what they have said, it touched our hearts, we are of the very same way of thinking with them, What can we say different from them?  No we and our brothers, the Miamis are of one mind with them, they have not missed a single thought we could have had on the same subject.

Chaminitawaa, Village Chief of the Odawas then rose up and said:

Father!  I am chosen to speak the sentiments of the Odawas, Chippewas and Potawatomies.

Father!  I beg you will listen to the words of your children and I beg they will be attentive.
