The Pontiac Manuscript
The Foxes, who had come on the day before to exchange prisoners, came back this day at four o'clock and took leave as they had come, without a better result than the first time.
Sunday, June 12. The day passed rather quietly in the fort, and without any fighting on either part. At ten o'clock in the morning Mr. Cavallier arrived at the house of the widow Gervaise with canoes loaded with wine and merchandise. From him it was learned that plenty reigned at Montreal, and all kinds of merchandise and provisions were very cheap there. At three o'clock in the afteroon the guards in the bark took ashore several dead bodies of those whom the Indians had murdered the day before. These bodies were buried on the river bank, opposite the fort.
