JOSEPH. 551 The disasters at St. Josephs, and what threaten any traders per-mitted to go there in future, or towards the Mississippi, oblige me toentreat the honor of your directions respecting that matter. In locating this little fort in the wilderness which had such a stormyexistence, one is greatly helped to a conclusion by consulting the earlymaps of the territory, some of which I name. In the congressionallibrary at Washington there are: John Mitchells map of North America, 1755, which locates the fortmore than thirty miles from the mouth of the St. Joseph river. Thisis an authoritative map, and is used in the settlement of boundarydisputes. DAnvilles map, 1755, indicates about the same location. ThePouteatomies and Miamis are shown to have villages near by. ThisFrench map is also authoritative. In the Michigan State Library are five maps showing Fort St. Josephup stream: Carte des Possessions Angloises d Francoises due Conti
