for we are all red men alike, -- your race is mine. The protection I am authorized to give you must include all who are in trouble! 'Tis for that purpose I was placed here. I who write this am Kah-tungh-wak-lee. Brother Creeks, they have brought me a letter. From this I heard the talk of Mexico. In Mexico we have had a public meeting. I have written that you may know. My name is Mexico. I have been busy. I have just found out my frontier Chiefs. I thought them occupied in good, when they have been engaged in evil. They were only aiding the whites. But now my task is bad. I am grown angry. Awhile ago, we had settled to out satisfaction. We had a seven month's meeting. Peace was made. We had taken fast hold of each other's hands. But now my business troubles me. I have seen how my Chiefs behaved. Him of the town of Sah-ha-tah-kah I have broken. I have taken from him the money. He looked on it as his own. He had been appointed to the charge of it as the public property of the nation. I have also taken from his the papers. The Chiefs of other days were well conducted. -- I have also broken the Chief of Sah-lech-teeh-yah.
