His high pomposity seems unusually replete with feces this
morning. I wonder if he would care to eludicate by what right the
Americans were occupying land that was clearly not their own and
in what way the Indians' defensive alliance with the British was
not justified?
(I will not ask him to support his slander about the nature of
British actions in that alliance.)
