The Pontiac Manuscript
Thursday, June 3, Corpus Christi day. In the afternoon there were a
few shots fired by the Indians who had remained to watch the surroundings
of the fort, but that amounted to so little that the English officers simply
looked on without having the fire returned, because they believed this to be
a waste of powder.
During the night, at three o'clock A. m., an English employe, who was a prisoner amongst the Ottawas, fled from their camp quite naked and came to the fort, fetching a letter to the commander which Mr. Campbell, who-was there as prisoner in their camp, had given him to take to Mr. Gladwyn.
