167 with the Indians near twenty years, and know how they have been treated, and how they are still treated, But why dwell on a subject of this nature. Dear Sir, permit me here to make one request, viz. that if a part, or the whole of what I have written you, should not be of service, you will please burn it, and not let it go from your hand; if any thing I have said should be of service, you are at liberty to make such use of it as you may see fit, mentioning my name as seldom as possible, only as one, among many, from whom you have desired information, that should I be favoured with a copy of your work, I should know what information I had transmitted to you, & should feel responsible for its correctness; or if discovered to be incorrect or deficient in any important particulars, I should feel under obligation to correct, or enlarge as the case might be, and forward all such information to you as soon as possible for the benefit of a second edition.
Through the kindness of Mr. Blunt, I am encouraged to hope that neither the former sheets, nor these will be of any expense as respects postage.
I intend to continue my enquiries, as opportunities occur, and should you wish any information on any particular subject, please let me know, and I will do all in my power to gratify your requests. Respectfully yours, D.S. Butrick
