[E.B. O'Callaghan (1849)] ing the French. The Seneca scouts have been as far as Kaionhouague, where you had concluded the peace, to be certain of the place at which your army had encamped. The Onnontagues believed tor several days that they had killed me. Tegannehout's arrival in this country will have calmed the minds in communicating your peace to them. No news have as yet been received from the Seneca. Some say they will shortly come hither to confer on important matters. If any one come from the For there I shall inform you of whatever I will have learned. Sieur Arnaud, Mr. Dongan's deputy, has not re-appeared here since my departure from Onnonta6, though he had assured me that he should return in ten days. 'Tis said that his delay is caused by not having found his master at Orange (Albany), and that he has gone to Manath to inform him of the proceedings of the Onnontagu6 and of your arrival at Gainhouague, [Hungry Bay.] I had the honour of writing to you from the Fort whence I sent you a wampum belt from the Tionnontates. I gave Sieur Hannataksa the belt of Wampum and the red Calumet in your name, to whom I said that you would be ever obliged to him if he would turn his arms to the left of Fort St. Louis, where the Illinois are mingled with the Oumiamis, so as to give no cause of complaint.
