At the appointed time Little Mag and her pale faced friend appeared in presence of His Excellency, who received them in the most gentleman-like manner.

The bride, before leaving the presence of Governor Carleton, handed to him Mrs. Godfrey’s address, and asked him if he would send a letter to her English mother, (Mag), and tell her that little Mag was married to Jim Newall, and is living on the old camping ground where Paul died.  That Little Mag is happy and loves Jim as she did Paul.  The Governor promised Mrs. Newall that he would send a letter to Mrs. Godfrey.  He took the address and not long after wrote to Mrs. Godfrey, giving that lady a full account of Little Mag’s appearance as she stood in his presence decked in her wedding garments.

Governor Carleton states in his letter that he never thought of seeing so handsome a woman among the Indian tribes of America.  That he believes there are ladies in his own country who would almost feel inclined to forfeit a title or an estate to be possessed of a pair of hands and feet of the form and size of those of Newall’s bride.  Nature seemed to have perfected its work in moulding the form and features of the handsome squaw.  The Governor continues, “She was dressed in a suit of navy blue cloth, her skirt reaching to within an inch of the tops of her moccasins.  A loose blue cloth jacket, buttoned up in front with brass buttons, covered her well rounded shoulders and breast.  The jacket was edged with scarlet cloth and reached to her waist.  Around her full neck hung a double row of beads, to which was attached a gold cross,[10] and on each wrist she wore a bracelet of beads similar to the neck-lace.  A wampum band circled her head.  Inside the band were three beautiful feathers from the wing of a wild pigeon.  Her hair as black as the raven’s back, was so arranged as to make her forehead appear like an equilatiral triangle, the brows being the base.  Her eyes, coal black, round, quick and deep set, are indescribable, and a more beautiful set of teeth I never saw in a human head.  On her feet she wore light brown moccasins, on the front of each was worked, in beads of suitable colours, the Union Jack.  As she put out her neat foot that I might better observe the work on her moccasins, she said the work was put on them by her wish out of respect to the flag that covered the remains of her first husband, (Paul Guidon).  In her own words she said to me:  “Tell mother in England, she see Jim Newall and know Jim; saw him when my Paul sick and die.  He paddled English mother down settlement in canoe.”

[Footnote 10:  The gold cross attached to Mag’s neck-lace, was sent to Paul Guidon by Sir Guy Carleton as a present.  Paul received the present while he was sojourning at Quebec.]
