One of these women had two children; the other was quite young, and, according to Indian ideas, beautiful too.

She was the favorite wife.
The Dahcotahs received the Chippeways with real pleasure, in full faith and confidence.

"Hole-in-the-Day has been long in coming," said one of the Dahcotahs; "his friends have wished to smoke the pipe of peace with him, but some of them have left us to seek for food.

We welcome you, and will eat together, and our friendship shall last forever." Hole-in-the-Day met his advances with every appearance of cordiality.
One thing, however, the Dahcotahs observed, that the Chippeways did not fire their guns off when they arrived, which is done by Indians when they make a visit of friendship.
The party passed the evening in conversation.

All the provisions of the Dahcotahs were called in requisition to feast the Chippeways.
