The Pontiac Manuscript
Wednesday, June 15. The Indians, who ordinarily did not practice much economy, except when forced to, not having any provisions left of those that they took from the barges of the convoy that they had captured, were obliged
to have recourse to the settlers to live until they could take others. Besides what was given to them, they killed animals of the settlers.
At ten o'clock a. m., the Foxes came for the third time to exchange prisoners, and gave the commander of St. Joseph and two soldiers for one of the Indian prisoners whom the English had.
