The Pontiac Manuscript
Pontiac finally feigned to take kindly to what the three gentlemen required of him, and, to make believe that he consented to peace and unity, he sent Mr. LaButte back to the fort with some Indians to talk to the commander on his part, which was done rather to get rid of Mr. LaButte,. whom he began to suspect. The Indians, to the number of six or seven, entered the fort with Mr. LaButte, and saluted the commanders and the officers, who received them well and gave them their hands. The Indians spoke in the name of their chiefs, were listened to and seemed to listen to what the commander said to them through Mr. LaButte.
