From John Peter Pruden at Buckingham house to John Ballenden? Aug. 10 1799
"Sir,
The Canadian named the Little Wolf that is going down to meet the canoes gives me an opportunity of informing you how affairs is going on in this Quarter. Alexander Flett has been on discovery to the Red deers lake from Edmonton House but has returned without success the Bogs & Woods being so bad that he was obliged to return short. The Northwest Companys men that was sent to build a house at the stonny mountain returned on the first part of the Summer they were sent off again with Strict orders to Build and a few days ago they all came back Bag & Baggage. The reason of this I cannot properly tell but they seem to say that the southard Indians is against it and that there is no provisions to be got there but they are determined to Build there when their canoes arrive. There has been but a few slopey ground Stone Indians & the Little Old Man with his Family & the big bastard that is tenting with him in here since the Craft left in the spring. None of the Blackguards that used to visit this house every summer has been seen yet and now we don't expect them as the time of the year has past.
JP Pruden"
