Dodge outlines a strategy for negotiating peace with the Indians, emphasizing the importance of their willingness to engage.

In view of all the facts, I must doubt the sincerity of those who are seeking to bring discredit upon our little Army, the marvellous efficiency of which has won the admiration of the world.
There is no officer listening to me who did not see cruelties in the Civil War.
We were always careful that no cruelties were committed by enlisted men, but whatever was done was by the order of an officer.
It is upheld and maintained today, as it always has been, by the patriotism of our people as represented by our Army in the Civil War, in Cuba, the Philippines, and China.
