LA SALLE
M. Cavelier, the priest, had taken care,
before the death of M. de la Salle, his
brother, to get of him a letter of credit, to
receive either a sum of money or furs in the
country of the Illinois. He tendered that
letter to M. Tonty, who, believing M. de la
Salle was still alive, made no difficulty of
giving him to the value of about four thousand
livres in furs, castor and otter skins, a
canoe and other effects, for which the said
M. Cavelier gave him his note, and we prepared
for our journey.
I have before observed that there was a
Jesuit, whose name was Dalouez, at Fort
Louis, and who had been very much surprised
to hear that M. de la Salle was to
come in a short time, being under great
apprehensions on account of a conspiracy
intended to have been carried on against
M. de la Salle's interest. That father, perceiving
our departure was fixed, moved
first, and went away foremost, to return to
Micilimaquinay; so that they were left without
a priest at Fort Louis, which was a
great trouble to us, because we were the occasion
of it, and therefore those who were
to remain in the fort anticipated the time
and made their Easter, taking the advantage
of the presence of F. Anastasius and
M. Cavelier.
