were too far from home to be convened in so short a time. Here a short conversation took place between the chiefs, and afterwards they proposed seven day's hence as the time; desiring that to-morrow might not be counted, as it would take them a day to return home. To this we consented. The Five Medals then expressed as follows: Brothers, it would have been very desirable to us if you could have met us at the time of our counsel. We have very often told our people of the Quakers. They listen to us, but are at a loss to know what sort of people the Quakers are. If you could stay, brothers, they would have an opportunity of seeing the Quakers, and of hearing words from your own mouths. After this the Little Turtle added: Brothers: We hope the words that you may say to us at the time we have appointed to meet will be upon paper. From that paper we can at some future time have your words de-livered to our people. This, brothers, will in some measure answer the end. During a pause which occupied several minutes we asked them if we understood each other. The Turtle replied, Yes, perfectly; we have nothing further to do now than to look for-ward to the day appointed. After this we took each other by the hand and very cordially bade farewell. We then re-turned to our lodgings.
