Page 119 - The interests now entrusted to you are of vital importance to this Expedition. The men you will eventually have under you consist of more than an entire third of the Expedition. The goods that will be brought up are the currency needed for transit through the regions beyond the Lakes ; there will be a vast store of ammunition and provisions, which are of equal importance to us.
