Show uoa Brigham Young to RG 75 Comm Ind. Aff. Microcopy 234 Reel 897 October 20, 1851 To the Honerable Luke Lea Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Washington City Sir, In my former report, I made no observations in relation to the Indian Agence and operations of the agent, Major Holemen, Mr. Rose and Mr. Day, Sug Agents for Utah Territory; reserving their doings and operations, desiring to be enabled to incorporate their reports in my second one to your office. I have had the pleasure of forwarding one, that of Mr. Rose, Sub Agent of the Territory who has been assigned to the Uinta Agency. Early in the season and previous to the arrival of Major Holemen, the two Sub-Indian Agents, Mr. Rose and Capt. Day, having arrived and reported themselves ready for business, I preceded to locate and assign them their respective districts. See proclamation "M.I." as also copies of letters to each Sub Agent, marked A and B; previous however to ing their enter A upon their duties, Major Holemen arrived, but having made an engagement with the Shoshonies on his way hither, to return and attend the treaty at Laramie, only remained two or three days giving but small opportunity of arranging for future, or even present operations. He proceeded to make further arrangements upon his arrival, as you will observe by reference to a copy of his letter, a copy of which is herewith transmitted, marked C; all of which items were answered, and under the circumstances, approved by myself, as per letter marked D. |
