I acquainted him with my business, and offered my commission and letter; both of which he desired me to keep until the arrival of Monsieur Reparti, captain at the next fort, who was sent for and expected any hour. This commander is a knight of the Military order of St. Louis, and named Legar- deur de St. Pierre. He is an elderly gentleman and has much the air of a soldier. He was sent over to take the command immediately upon the death of the late general, and arrived here about seven days befo...re me. At two o'clock, the gentleman who was sent for arrived, when I offered the letter, etc., again, which they received, and adjourned into a private apartment for the cap- tain to translate, who understood a little English. After he had done it, the com- mander desired I would walk in and bring my interpreter to peruse and correct it; which I did. 13th — The chief officers retired to hold a council of war, which gave me an oppor- tunity of taking the dimensions of the fort, and making what observations I could.
