Equal liberty and happiness were the objects, to a partici- pation of which, the Americans invited them. "Upon a fair presumption/' said the Governor, "that the peo- ple about Detroit have similar inclinations with those at the Illinois and [upon the] Wabash, I think it pos- sible that they may be brought to expel their British masters and become fellow citizens of a free state. I recommend this to your' serious consideration, and to consult with some confidential persons on the sub- ject. Perh...aps Mr. Gibault, the priest (to whom this country owes many thanks for his zeal and services), may promote this affair. But I refer it to you to select the proper persons to advise with, and to act as occa- sion offers. But you are to push at any favorable oc- currences which fortune may present to you ; for our peace and safety are not secure while the enemy are so near as Detroit." It was the desire of Governor Henry that Clark should testify to all the subjects of Spain upon every occasion, the high regard and sincere friendship of Virginia towards them.
