Letter. Lefevre takes the liberty of addressing Stuart a few lines on behalf of a band of Potawatomies at Pokagon. They live in the middle of a settled white population and have gotten their living partly by the charity of the whites and partly by hunting, since they had no guide to instruct them on how to till the ground. This year, the scarcity of provisions makes their white neighbors stint their charities towards them, and game has become scarce. Their provisions consumed, their credit in the store has run out. They must inevitably sin under their distress unless some immediate relief be given them. Lefevre begs Stuart to obtain the necessities of life for the Indians to enable them to help themselves during the next and following seasons. The Indians now have a good and able instructor who will bring them up to industrious habits and they will profit by their distress.
