The Pontiac Manuscript
Ask of our brothers, the Wolfs, what the Master of Life has said to them. 'It is- good to kill during the fight, but afterwards, and when prisoners have been taken, it is worth nothing at all, and not to drink nor eat human blood or flesh. ' Because thou art a Frenchman as well as we. Ask our brothers, the French, if when they have war and have taken prisoners, they kill them, when they
have them brought home. No! but they keep them to exchange them for those of their own people who are prisoners with their enemies. We see well what obliges thee to do what thou hast done to our brothers, the Frenchmen; it is because thou hast illy commenced the war, and because thou art in rage, not to be able to get at the English who are in the fort.
