Father, Look at me, and see if I deceive you, when I say that I have but one intention, and that is a good one.
Father, My heart is strong; I say, my heart is strong.
Father, Those who robbed and whipped your people, I did not see; I was not present.
Father, Those Republican Pawnees are bad people, they have injured the whites, but I have not, and that is the reason why I am not afraid to see you.
{290} Father, We are fond of pipes; we like to travel to our neighbouring nations, and smoke with them.
Father, I am desirous to go now, and hunt the buffaloe; but when the grass comes up in the spring, I hope to see you again.
Father, This medal which you see on my neck, is my father's image. It is dear to me, because he presented and placed it on my neck.
Father, Wherever I have been to visit my father (Governor Clarke), or my fathers, I have heard good talk, and mine has been good also; but there are many here who will not give ear to their words.
Father, I am happy to hear what you say about peace; that we particularly desire, especially with the whites.
Father, Affairs have been bad. I am not a child; I listened to the talk you sent to us, and was therefore not afraid to come and see you. Those whites, and all those people around me, I consider as my children, and am glad to see them.
