REPAIRING FORT DETROIT.
In this enterprise it is recommended to you to say to the warriors to use humanity towards the prisoners and others who may be found without arms,, because there are several English traders retained by force amongst them. The prisoners will be paid for.
Since the nations in general have had many presents from his majesty before, it is recommended to you to make as little expense as the nature of the service will allow, not giving them anything but what is absolutely necessary.
Given at the Fort Michilimaquenac this 26th of October, 1778. At. S. De Peyster,
Major of the King's regiment and Commander of the said post and dependencies.
To Capt. Langlade and Lieut. Gautier.
INSTRUCTIONS FOB MR. LANGLADe.
