And if you will look at the Treaty of Peace article 6th (that) by that article he had no right to refuse the votes offered to him after the Hate was turned,

I saw Mr Davis about three weeks before this, & he told me that he was willing to let the Indians vote by throwing down their Hats, but after seeing Calais Folks he seams [seems] to have changed his mind.

Some of the Indians say that a white man from Calais voted for Peal[?] Tomah and also two Indians that were under age voted for Peal[?] Tomah I do not think the voting consumed more than ten minutes, after this meeting a few days so the Indian ses [says] the first Indian Council man his House was entered in the night by Two Indians of Peal[?] Tomahs party & one held the first concil man while the other truck him on the Head, also the Indian ses [says] on the 12th of November, he the first Indian Council man was met in the street in the evening by a white man, so the Indian ses [says] & the man asked him whose party he belong to, the Indian ses [says] Gordon’s of course, & upon that answer the white man struck him on the forehead & cut a deep gash into the skull over the right eye & he came into my shop & was covered with blood & my brother[?] Dr John Gordon dressed the wound for him.
