TRANSLATION. 
For some reason you have not sent a letter hither; you have never sent a reply 
I will go to you. If you send a reply in two weeks, I will go yonder to your land. 
When you receive this, send a letter back very quickly. You have begged for your 
horse; it is difficult for me to drive it along, and I am apprehensive on this account. 
Iwill leave it here when I go to see you. I wish to hear about the man whom I regard 
as my friend. Send and tell me all about him. I refer to Walking Buffalo-bull. I 
am very well satisfied for you not to return here. The Ponka matter is not yet settled, 
and it would be difficult for you to stay here. They continue in great trouble.
