" Brother -- You desire us to unite, and live together, and " draw all our Allies near us, but we shall have no Land left, either, " for ourselves, or them, for your People, when they buy, a small " Piece of Land of us, by Stealing they make it large. We desire " such things may not be done, and that your People may not "be suffered to buy any more of our Land. Some time it's " bought of Two Men, who' are not the proper owners of it.
