I was informed... that some... were dreaming and wished to return.

The preparations for my new voyage prevented the possiblity of my paying that attention to the correction of my errors, that I should otherwise have done.

In my proper character, an officer of the United States army.

I cannot consent to be led three or four hundred leagues out of my route, without its being by force of arms.

May Heaven be propitious, and smile on the cause of my country.

Few Indians only had breech cloths, most being wrapped in buffalo robes, otherwise quite naked.

On no further occasion present a flag or medal to an Indian.
