‘i¢ai hi, You told them about the trinkets, so they were waiting very anxiously for what 
was promised. Therefore they talked of going to (visit) you (not waiting on you any 
longer), but now that you have failed (to send them), they speak of not going to (visit) you. 
TRANSLATION. 
When [ was with you last autumn you made very good words for me. O father, 
send me a decision in whatever way it may be very honest. I wish to go to you to- 
day, but Iam sick. And these Dakotas also are abusing us, therefore I do not go to 
you on account of my fear of some unseen danger. I wish to go to see you next au- 
tumn. I left one of my colts there (with the Omahas). I desire you to induce the 
Ponkas who are with you to bring it back for me. I wish the Orphan to promise to 
give mea pipe. Tell him about it. You have not caused me to hear about even one 
of the things about which you told me (7. e., you have not sent word about their com- 
ing). Two men asked just one thing of you; they begged a drum of you. 
They desire it on this very day, but you have failed, so you need not think of it 
any longer. They do not wish you to give them anything. You have not spoken true 
words. We have a box, therefore they have no further desire for one (from you). 
You are (as) a woman, but you speak very great words! They are waiting very anx- 
iously for what was promised. You told them about the trinkets, so they promised 
to go to seeyou; but now that you have failed (to send them) they speak of not going 
to you. Enough.
