Transcription

It will be better for [illegible strikeout] [illegible write-over] <settlement> not to be so familiar with the Indians, it makes them bold, impudent, and saucy and will become a source of trouble and expence to you — keep them at a respectful distance all the time, and they will respect you the more for it.
