I could never resolve to leave the Onneidas to whom I was under many obligations so that I could never repay them only by sacrificing myself in imitation of Jesus Christ for their welfare, temporal and eternal.

Where upon we separated and since that time the English have left me in a way alone, - although I know that I am as a great thorn in the side, to them. If I could serve them according to God, for their conversions and for the public repose, I would do it with all my heart, and would forget all the wrong they have done me.
