The white people can go wherever they please and they will not be disturbed by us, and I want you to let them know.

These people that are with us are glad to think that we can have peace once more, and can sleep soundly, and that we can live.

Although the troops have struck us, we throw it all behind and are glad to meet you in peace and friendship.

I have done my best to keep my young men quiet, but some will not listen and since the fighting began, I have not been able to keep them at home.

We are different nations, but it seems as if we were but one people, whites and all.

We want to take good tidings home to our people, that they may sleep in peace.
