found the chevalier de la Corne, who told me at the outset that M.Marin
Jr. had gone to Missilimakina with Sioux chiefs, and that not being able
to wait for my arrival, he had left to go to his post with the aforesaid
chiefs [who, on leaving, had made an appointment with the Crees by a speech
that they gave to M.de La Corne], which committed me to send my delegates
back, of whom de la Corne took charge. I do not doubt that these two nations
are now living in peace [and are joining to go to war against the Prairie
Sioux. I forgot to note that the River and Lake Sioux, before leaving,
had sent two Crees whom they had been detaining since to the Crees as evedence
of the goodwill]....". Louis was hiring voyageurs between 1753 & 1755
