Schoolcraft, Henry Rowe, 1793-1864

"Personal Memoirs of a Residence of Thirty Years with the Indian Tribes on the American Frontiers"

2d_. Rev. Oren O. Thompson writes in relation to
Michilimackinack:--
"1. Have you a missionary engaged for that station?
"2. Do you feel the importance and necessity of obtaining one who is
already acquainted with the Indian language?
"3. Do you wish to engage one for that station, who is in sentiment a
Presbyterian?
"4. Are there appropriations for his support?
"5. What will be his business particularly?
"6. How long will he probably be wanted there?
"7. What, in your opinion, is the prospect of his usefulness there?"
_Dec. 1st_. Mr. Hamill, of Lawrenceville, N.J., responds to my inquiry
for a suitable school for my son--a matter respecting which I am just
now very solicitous.
_13th_. Set out by railroad for Flint River, accompanied by Major
Garland and Mr. Conner. Weather very cold, and the snow forming a good
road. At Pontiac, we took a double sleigh, and drove out to Flint
Village. I was invited to his house by Mr. Hascall, who did everything
to render the visit agreeable.
