The Pontiac Manuscript
his letter had been found by the Hurons in the clothes of the conductor whom they had killed, and it was carried to the camp of Pontiac, who gave it to Mr. Campbell to read, and had Mr. LaButte, the interpreter, explain it to him. Mr. Campbell facilitated the flight of the prisoner to have it handed to Mr. Gladwyn, the place commander. This letter was written by an officer at Niagara to another officer, a friend of his, who was commander at the Miamis. In it he mentioned the conclusion of peace, with all its details, which occasioned an instrumental concert in the evening, to celebrate so good a news.
