"Uncle! We, your cousins, the congregation of believing Indians at Lichtenau and
Gnadenhuetten, rejoice at this opportunity to see and speak with you. We cleanse your eyes
from all the dust, and whatever the wind may have carried into them, that you may see your
cousin with clear eyes and a serene countenance. We cleanse your ears and hearts from all
evil reports which an evil wind may have conveyed into your ears and even into your hearts
on the journey, that our words may find entrance into your ears and a place in your hearts.
