the following Report
Pursuant to our appointment we set out
on a visit to the Indians the
7th of the 5 Mo last
and after
passing through two of their towns arrived
on the 3rd of the most
month at upper Sandusky
the principal village of the Wyandotts
met with a friendly reception from Tarhic
head Chief and others of that Nation
Upon confering with them we found a mis-
take had been made in the
translation of the
speech which they sent to friends, respecting
the
time of opening their great Council which they
now informed
us began annually at the full
moon in this month and finding it
would be
difficult to procure subsistance for ourselves &
horses
here until that time We concluded it would
under our
present circumstances, be best to
propose to Tarhic
the other Chiefs who were then at San Dusky
which was accordingly agreed to, and at the time
appointed we met him and two other chiefs at
his own house, when we had a full opportunity
with them on the subject of our visit
Our communication appeard to be rec.
with great satisfaction by them
and in their
answer deliverd to us on some strings of Wampum
