The Pontiac Manuscript
Pontiac, who knew of this almost as soon as the Foxes, and who heard that the Foxes had taken liquor, fearing that he might not get a share of it, came over with his chiefs, sent for Lasel and made him come up with his liquor to the house of Mr. Jacques Campau, near the camp. The merchandise was taken without injury to the house of Mr. Labady, uncle of Mr. Lasel.
In making Mr. Lasel change his place, Pontiac had told him, that, being near his camp, he would not be troubled, for he would answer for his own men. However, to have a rest, he gave up five barrels, and the Indians left him in peace.
