'Father, when the war hatchet was sent by our great Father to the Americans, we too raised it against them. Father we fought your enemies on the very spot we now inherit. The pathway to our doors is red with our blood. Every track to our homes reminds us, 'here fell a brother' - fell, Father! in the hour of strife for you.... We conjure you not to expel us from our homes, rendered dear to us by many recollections. The morning and the noon-day of our nation has passed away - the evening is fast settling in darkness round us. It is hardly worth an effort to hasten the close of night, &c. Father, the dejected Huron throws himself upon your clemency and justice'—Amherstburg 1829 (Jameson: 345, 347).
