Scope & content
Survey Diary: MacDonnell notes in his survey diary entries for May 1 and 2, 1847, that P. McLennan was sent to Trout Lake to buy a canoe from Indians. McLennan returned with man named McDonnell who stated that canoe could not be bought from Indians. On May 8, two Indians with a camp were encountered on the course of the north branch of the Petawawa (and they agreed to sell a canoe to MacDonnell). Went up north branch to get canoe and found Indians' camp at head of a large lake, but no trace of Indians or canoe there.
