Indian speech, Delived [sic] before a gentleman missionary, from Massachusetts, by a chief, commonly called by the white people Red Jacket. His Indian name is Sagu-ya-what-hath, which being interpreted, is Keeper-awke [sic]

This broadside is another edition of Indian Speech, printed after 1816, with a rule between the columns. It is now bound into the Thomas collection. This version has spelling mistakes in the subtitle: the speech is “Delived” instead of “Delivered,” and the interpretation of Red Jacket’s name is given as “Keeper-awke” instead of “Keeper-Awake.”
