Extract of a letter from the Chevcalier de Callieres.
27th of October, 1695.
The Sieru Perrot, who is in command at Malamek, received orders from the Comte de Frontenac to come down here to consider the necessary means for uniting the Miamis of those parts with those at the River St. Joseph, as it is important to strengthen that post against any fresh attacks which the Iroquois may make upon it; he arrived on the 14th of August with twelve canoes of Indians belonging to various distant tribes.
