Excerpt from Publications of the Buffalo Historical Society, 1903, Vol. 6 Her statement affected: me much, and although it is our duty to judge cautiously, it is nevertheless impressed on my mind, that it is the hand of God. Monday, Oct..6. After the exercises of this interesting evening were over, we suggested to the chiefs present the propriety of their receiving Christian names; inasmuch as frequently in our communications to our friends we are nu 'der the necessity of calling them by terms which had been given by some persons no doubt with a view to nickname them, and which were disrespectful; and that if they chose to adopt the plan of receiving Christian names, I would fur nish myself with a list and at some convenient opportunity would make an appropriation. The thing seemed to gratify them verv much and they gave us their sincere thanks for this kindness and attention, and' stated that they had always been sensible of the meanness of the manner in which they were commonly addressed by white people.
