The Pontiac Manuscript
An Ottawa Indian, named Mahigama, who had only feebly given his voice in the conspiracy and who was not satisfied with the bad proceeding of those of his nation, came in the night between Friday and Saturday, unknown to the other Indians, to the gate of the fort and asked to speak to the commander, saying that he had something important to communicate in secret. The gates were opened to him and he was taken before Mr. Campbell, second commander, who sent word to Mr. Gladwyn, the chief commander. They wanted to send for Mr. LaButte, the interpreter, but the Indian would not have it, saying that he spoke sufficient French to make himself understood by Mr. Campbell.
