The Pontiac Manuscript
He explained to the two commanders the conspiracy of the Indians, that they were all very evil-minded and had sworn the annihilation of the English; that during the day they would attack them and that he would have to be on guard. He furthermore requested the commander not to say to any one, French or English, what he had just now communicated to them, because the other Indians would not fail to find out sooner or later, and, once knowing it, they would kill him from rage of having been foiled in their attempt. The commander thanked him and wanted to give him presents, but the Indian refused and only begged of the commanders not to give him away to anybody, which was promised to him and kept.
