They, the chiefs of the Pottawatomies on the Saint Joseph reservation, say that the missionary station formerly occupied by Mr. Isaac McCoy, although the President's agent opposed them and occupied the mission and said that he had commanded him to do so, has been vacated by him at their request so that they could have real black gowns to educate their children and speak of the Great Spirit. They ask, therefore, that the mission be given to the Catholic priest, as they have always intended. This request comes from their hearts. Signed by the mark of Pokagan, Wassuto, Noakota, Sanguinai, and Ribio. :: III-2-g Copy of documents 2pp. 4to.
