Because I have heard that you are about to leave us I am thinking
about you, and I am sorry. You have been good to us. You are a good
chief.
You have helped us with our horses, cattle, and sheep more than any
other chief we have had. You have helped us greatly in sickness,
and I am sorry that you are going to leave us.
I hope to see you before you go, but perhaps I will not get a
chance to see you. I am glad you gave me a work to do, and I have
patched up a number of quarrels, have brought the people together
and made their troubles right.
I am sure I will not forget you. No matter where you go, I will
remember you. The people love you.
Because I think I will not get to see you before you go, I wanted
to say these things to you. You have always been kind to me.
My wish for you is that you have strength and gladness.
