"So my uncle went out, and brought in two roots, one of which he used as a wash, and the other I had to hold pieces of in my mouth all the time.

"Four is the magic number of the Indians, so for four days he treated me, and my mouth was straight again, although I do not remember the exact number of days it took.

"When my uncle went out to hunt, he examined the place where our bark tent stood, and there he found a great many very old graves of Indians, that had been buried many many years before. 

"They all said it was a ghost I saw, but I never thought so. My uncle, who was much gifted, was an interpreter of dreams, and this was the interpretation of my vision:

"'That women of all ranks or stations, and of all races, would smile on me.'

"I never used to tell this, because I thought it was a vision sent to me, and I was gifted to see visions, and so should not tell it, for it was the custom of my people, but since I have become a believer in the true God, and know there is nothing the world beside Him, I have told this to show that I have put all such things away as not fitting a believer in the true Son of God."
