(Painted 1842.) 



Wife of Nashtaw, and Child. On the arrival of the two chiefs 

 and this woman at Fort Gibson, I took them to my studio for the 

 purpose of painting their portraits. They very willingly acceded to 

 my wishes, and manifested by signs that they wanted something to 

 eat. I accordingly had as much meat cooked as would appease the 

 appetite of six men, which they ate in a short time, and then asked 

 for more. I again procured about the same quantity, which, to my 

 astonishment, they also devoured. It was the first meat they had 

 eaten for some five or six days. 



They remained one day with me, and then took their departure 

 for Mr. Ross s.
