TRANSLATION. 
I will send you a letter. If a robe or red blanket is left over (after 
the distribution ?), I wish you to give it to ye-jega. If you do not give 
it to him, [ will go to (see) you very soon. You gave me a different 
horse from the one which you promised to give me. I was exceedingly 
displeased as I came hither, because when there were some American 
horses remaining vou did not give me one.
