- English Summary
- You have travelled more than four hundred miles from Saskatchewan as delegates from communities to ask advice on difficulties which have rendered the North West unhappy; you want me and my family to go back with you; you assure me of a friendly welcome; your visit does me honor; I pray your delegation may become a blessing; I doubt whether my advice could cross the border and retain any influence; the Canadian Government owe me 240 acres of land and have deprived me of my properties; my claims hold good though I have become an American citizen; I accept your invitation; I will go and spend some time amongst you; by petitioning we all have the good fortune of obtaining something; my intention is to come back early this fall; the half breed element in Montana is a strong one; I would like to unite and direct its vote.
