Whenever Ben : Curry invalidates my letters, on fair terms or on unfair terms, I will not charge him one cent,- for this reason - he will raise the honor of the United States, and have all the Treaties fulfilled, and also his own promises to the emigrants complied with in every respect, and will also place the Cherokee Nation, Arkansas, in a flourishing condition regarding government, morality, and the religion of Jesus Christ. And, if he cannot invalidate my individual letter, he must think he is void of the pure honest principles of a man and of an officer entrusted with the interests of our community at large. Dear Brother, I will give you a small account of the times in Texas. From what I learned last by some men just from there, and from some who had been in there, the Spaniards live in towns & cities; the Indians live scattered. This is the way they live on the frontiers of Mexico. Any information you want in the west, if I am able, I will give. I shall be ready at all times to do so. A good many Cherokees are going on to the West - on to the Cross Timbers, 130 miles due west. A Delegation from this nation is going to your nation. What they are going to do, I am not able to say. You will know more when they get there. J Bushyhead [symbols]
