The Wyandott delegation responds to Brown's letter, suggesting modifications to the treaty of 1842, and again appeal for the rights of citizenship without being expected to give up their current land - "It is a high compliment to the nature and genius of the United States, that we as a tribe should desire to become citizens. But this is not surprising when it is recollected, that your language is our language, that our habits and manners and dress and modes of life are the same as yours."
