I have a settled conviction that a large proportion of the Indians (far greater than that of the Negroes, and surely as great as in our own family) are endowed with high capacity for the understanding and performance of the best labors of our advanced civilization.  Whoever knows Inshta Theamba (Bright Eyes) must admit this.  She is exceptionally tallented; but the exception is nearly as striking when the comparison is made with our people, as with the Indians.

With sincere respect, and the best wishes, yours to command
