I have just had the favour of Your Letter of the 8th, & I have now the pleasure to acquaint you that Mr. Croghan is now at Detroit with Pondiac and a number of Indians, whom he met near Illinois, and with whom he settled all matters for obtaining possession of that important place, in consequence of which Capt. Sterling & 100 men are marched there from Fort Pitt, this Affair is the more important, as it has been long attempted in Vain, and the gentleman sent up lately by the Mississippi in lieu of expecting anything were obliged to escape in the night & retire to New Orleans.
