Excerpt from Papers Relating to the First Settlement at Onondaga, and the Discovery of the Salt Springs at Salina: Anno 1654-8
At night I called the principal men together to make them two presents. The first to wipe their faces, so that they may regard me with a kindly eye, and that I may never see a trace of sorrow on their foreheads. The second to clear out the little gall which they still might have in their hearts. After several other dis courses they retired to consult together, and finally they respond ed to my presents by two other presents richer than mine.
