TRANSLATION. 
O friends, I have you (all) for my friends. O ye who pray to God, and O ye 
lawyers, I have you as real friends. One Indian had transgressed God’s words. I do 
not desire that. I have accepted all of God’s words. God has told me all that can be 
advantageous to me, so I am very glad. I do not wish to disobey (him). I received 
and took hold of one custom (or mode of action) when Standing Bear abandoned you 
and started back (to Niobrara). You can hear it. One Indian has reached yonder 
land where you are. It was the younger brother who caused all the trouble for his 
elder brother (i. ¢., Yellow Horse induced Standing Bear to act thus). You should 
hear it. You ought to think, when you see him, ‘“ He is a very disobedient man!” 
O Yellow Horse, it is probable that you wished him to think thus about us! (?) 
One of these Omahas hit genicka. You said that Tcaza-¢inge had threatened to kill 
me. You told the Omaha that I had threatened to kill him. And you also told that 
i had threatened to kill Na*pewa¢é and Sihi-duba. You told about just three men. 
In that manner you have acted against us. (But) you are in sight (just as if), you 
touched the clouds. .
