CLERK'S RECORD, APRIL, 1781
Dejean proposes to send you to Detroit to carry some letters, since he knows you and I have said to him that you are com- petent to make this journey. He will give you twelve hundred francs; it is a good price and I advise you to do it. You will render me a service also seeing that I wish to write for some merchandise. You risk nothing. We will advise you so that nothing will happen to you. If you decide to go there, come here at once. You can engage a savage at Cahokia to guide you seeing that it is necessary for you to travel by the same road which you took with Colonel Labalme. M. Dejean does not wish you to pass by the Post, since that road is not practicable on account of water; besides it is too long. If you think you cannot get a savage, try to get a white man to guide you. If you do not wish to go there, send us an answer at once. I am your servant.

My dear friends and compatriots :
It is with the most profound regret that I have learned that you are robbed and pillaged by those whom you call our people.2 Be well assured that I feel great grief about it and that I shall employ my efforts to remedy the causes of all your complaints and grie- vances.

(Folio 15 Cahokia, 1781.)
grievances to the government of Virginia containing what follows: I, François Trottier, Commandant of the district of Cahokia, at the requistition of the public, have assembled the citizens of the said district in order to name a person to represent our grievances to the government of Virginia, and to the Congress of the United States of America if need be. Consequently we have named and do name M. Pierre Prevost to whom we give power to make for
attack the British posts on the Mississippi in 1778. On his return he joined Clark in Illinois and served through the war. This letter won him the good will of the French, and it is men- tioned particularly in the memorial sent by the people of Kaskaskia to the governor of Vir- ginia .- Menard Col. Tard. Papers. George died in Utica, Ind .- English, Conquest of the Northwest, i, 366.

And we promise to sanction all that shall be done by the said M. Prevost and to ratify it, if need be.
