The Pontiac Manuscript
Wednesday, June 1. At two o'clock "a. m., two soldiers and a merchant who had been taken and adopted by the Indians, saved themselves from their
camp and came into the fort. From them it was learned that Wasson, great chief of the Sauteux of the Saginaw, had arrived with two hundred Indians of his band on the day before, and that on arriving at the camp of Pontiac they had kept council and resolved no longer to bother the fort, but to bar the passages so that the English could receive no more assistance, and for that purpose the Ottawas, Sauteux, Hnrons, and Foxes should start this day to roam over the lake and take the English where they should see.
