"January 26, 1895.
"Winona, My Friend:
"I will give you a letter. My children and wife we are all well. Every Sunday brings praying. Some are beginning to understand the Bible. At the second service on Sunday I ask some to pray and some to talk. Also at the Wednesday prayer meeting these are ready to respond. Chasinghorse, Flyinghorse and Whiteagle.
"Thunderhawk is growing a little stronger (spiritually). He and his family are always at church. I have said enough.
"Your friend,
"David Tatankaota.
"This is written with my own hand. Amen."
