To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Illinois Indians be hostile ; for they will most certainly unite on the Illinois, from which they can do us im- mense injury. This consideration has led me to exert myself as much as possible to maintain peace with those on the Illinois, and nothing would con- tribute so much to aid those efforts as the display of military force. "With that, I do believe they would be decisively successful. Otherwise, those Indians will openly declare war against us. I may be wrong in all my conjectures, an...d the respect I feel for the opinions of others of more experience induces me to entertain my own with great dif- fidence ; but till convinced of my error, I feel it my duty (although I may be mistaken) to suggest, most respectfully, to you, those opinions and impres- sions that I have deliberately formed, not upon a few isolated facts, but upon a combination of all circumstances that have come within my knowledge. I do not think we have the less danger to apprehend in consequence of believing that a general attack will not be made on our towns, for already I think it highly probable that as many have been killed in this year as we lost in Gov.
