Description:: Two documents related to Ezekiel Solomons (1760-180?) and the slave trade in the early northwest.

This document also includes five pages of questions to be posed by the commissioners. The second document (also 7 pp.) consists of the responses in French to these questions by Adhemar St-Martin and Charles Morison both of Michilimackinac.
