Abstract:
Written by a student or former student of Rev. Samuel Bissell's Native American boarding school at Twinsburg Institute at Twinsburg, Ohio. Mentions Native American people at Mackinac, including a man who gave "the news how the indians all were at grand Travers, Little Travers." Saw the "head" of the Odawas, "Pa qus a gun" [Pokozeegun?]. Remarks on family health, deaths, and births, including a "Chippeway woman" "in Mackinaw with two twins." The French and Native American fishing season went well and is almost done. Has not seen the "two that came before me in the spring" [other students from Twinsburg Institute?]. Details of a trip to Little Traverse and Cross Village "with a Indian going home." Mentions spending Sunday in prayer. Sends regards to Samuel Bissell and his schoolmates at the Twinsburg Institute, which he plans to return to in September. [NB: The author is likely Paul Ka-Gwe-Tosong in Andrew Blackbird's History.]
