From the Report of the Public Archives, by Public Archives of Canada (excerpts from the year 1761):
March 18 Fort Pitt
Bouquet
Has sent to Detroit 25 out of 34 oxen received from Virginia; this is the last supply he can send till he is reinforced; Campbell had better get provisions from Niagara and send Canadians to Fort Pitt for cattle, giving timely notice. Sends report of a Court of Inquiry on Mr. Baby and two traders which contains the facts.
