_H._ Pahrahbooah, if you will put me on board of a ship I will
go to England; if I remain at To'bee (Lord North's) I shall
die, for there is nothing to eat on To'bee; in England, much
food, much, much; and if you will put me on board of a ship, I
will give you much iron, many clothes, and much brass; if you
do not put me (on board) I shall die on To'bee, and you (will
get) no iron.
_P._ Hah, nang tay wosheeto ah gur; gur tee'tree tuhmah; gur tang

gur mummah tee'dee woar To'bee, zah pooruk ah To'bee.
_P._ Ah! I will not let you go; you talk bad; you will not
give me any iron; Peeter Inglish is a thief, you are a thief,
all Englishmen (are) thieves and liars; Englishmen (are) bad
men; you (are) to stay on To'bee, to die on To'bee.

_P._ Horace, if you go to England will you give the men of
To'bee iron of a large size, as big as a stick of wood, and
big axes, and knives, and cloth, and fish-hooks, an anvil and
hammer, and needles, a trunk, and brass, and then come back to
To'bee and give them to your father?

_H._ Yes, I will go to England, and I will give to the men of
To'bee iron of a large size, and big axes, and knives, and
cloth, and fish-hooks, an anvil, and needles, and trunks, and
brass, and then come back to To'bee and give them to my
father.
