I would rather aever ¢ return to myNation,than to go back with all myMen, ¢ and no Scalps. I was forry to hear you was gone ¢ out, as I wanted to fee yonr Men and mine ufe the ¢ Tomahawk together, and fight like true Brothers; ¢ however, I hope to fee that thortly, for you tell me ¢ youare geing to my Head Warrior, to let him kncw ¢ how the Catawbas love theEnglifh, at the fameTime ¢ to prefent him with a Belt of Wampum, fent by Cal. ¢ Wathington ; I am fure he will receive it in his ¢ Heart, for he loves the Englith. Yeu tell me you ¢ will be here in fix Moons : When you go to my ¢ Nation, I beg you will ftay fomewhat longer than ¢ you now intend, as I may have the Pleafure to {ee ¢ you there.
