Dear Sir,
I am favored with your's of the 25th ulmo inclosing Intelligence from Missilimakinak, and the Articles subscribed to by the Shawnese. It is very plain that the French are Intriguing; but we must have Patience, and see how the Messages from the six nations &c will operate amongst the Western Indians. The Miamies have delivered their Prisoners and the Ottawas some Deserters, this looks like comeing to good Terms and I hope that Lt Colo Campbell will improve these good Beginnings. Lieut. Fraser's Belts of Peace were accepted by Pondiac, Ilinois, Poueteatamies & Chippewas he ran a great Risk, from different storys that were propagated, and Mr Croghan not arriving, Pondiac at first was going to kill him and afterwards saved his Life & protected him. . .
