La Jonquire to the
French Minister
(September 17, 1751)
La Jonquire in: "1751: Reports
from the
Northern Posts," Wisconsin
Historical Collections,
XVIII, pp. 80-85.
pp. 84.
I learned last spring that one of the Poutetouatamis chiefs of St. Joseph whom came to see me last year went with his band to Chouaguen after leaving Montreal; that he received a speech from the English on behalf of the Chaouanons, the Misamis, and other nations that have taken refuge at la Belle riviere, with a blue blanket ornamented with porcelain designs and considerable presents to invite them to join their party and betray the French; and that this Chief and his band seemed disposed to meet the views of the rebels. I am giving orders to the Sieur de La Corne to take cognizance of this matter, to prevent its having any consequences, to get back the speech and the blanket and send them to me.
