a Council had been held the day before and it was thought advisable to put
up with the resent insults of the Ossiniboins & Christonoes untill
they were Convinced that what had been told thim by us, Mr. Evins had
deceived them & we might also, he promised to return & furnish
them with guns & amunitiion, we advised them to remain at peace &
that they might depend upon Getting Supplies through the Channel of the
Missouri, but it requred time to put the trade in opperation. The
Assiniboins &c have the trade of those nations in their power and
treat them badly as the Soux does the Ricarees and they cannot resent for
fear of loseing their trade &.
