Letter to the French Minister
(October 23, 1714)
Ramezay and Bgon in: Wisconsin Historical
Collections, XVI, p. 310.
p. 310.
The Reynards, Ouyatanons, mascoutins, and Kinapoux have recently gone to Invite the Irokois to join with them against us and the Outaoua nations. Those who are settled at detroit, having been informed of this embassy, went to ask them for an explanation of it. Their policy, or the fear they have that this might make an impression on my mind, has led them to send a representative here with three Collars. I send herewith a report of their speeches and of the reply made to them in my name by Monsieur de Longueuil, whereby you will recognize that, as far as appearances go, they do not wish to make any decision for the present. However, there is no ground for doubting that they are ill-disposed toward us, but will not let this appear until they find a favorable occasion.
