MIP yA‘E-JINGA TO KE-yRESE. 775 
NOTE. 
Mitya‘é-jinga was an Omaha, and Ke-yrede, an Oto. 
TRANSLATION. 
I have told these Omahas your words (sent in) this letter, but some of them have 
not obeyed (your wishes), so they will go to your land, as they have doubted me. 
Therefore I send this letter to you. I wish to hear again, and accurately, the words 
which you have said. Send again and explain to me this one word that you have told 
me. I refer to what you said, ‘‘ Use your hearing.” I do not fully grasp its meaning. 
I wish to hear it accurately. There is no news at all, yet I hope that you will attend 
to the affairs for me just as I have been speaking to you about them. I am always 
thinking about your words, which have been advantageous to me at various times. 
There is nothing the matter with the people whom you saw (here) when you went back 
to your people. The tribe is still prosperous. I continue to heed your advice; I 
pursue it. I hope to hear some word, some very good plan from you (when you write). 
Finally, I wish to see some letters (from you) very soon.
