Show (141A) Garland Hurt to Brigham Young RG 75 Microcopy 234 November 29, 1857 Reel 898 The accompanying abstract and voucher embrace all the expenditures at the Corn Creek Indian Settlement to this date, together with those at the Spanish Fork since the close of the last quarter, also such expenditures for presents to Indians, which I take the liberty of transmitting prior to your departure for Fillmore. The expenditures at the Sanpete Settlement were not made out in turn and consequently are not included in this report. I found it necessary to erect an agency house and granary at the Spanish Fork which accounts for a large portion of the expenditures at that place. I would suggest here that in addition to the vouchers for the present and two preceeding quarters, I have on hand such vouchers for most of the expenses incurred at these Indian Settlements, but as I have not duplicates of these, I prefer retaining them in this office. These Settlements embrace nearly all the friendly Indians belonging to the Utah and Pah-vante Tribes who claim the lands now occupied by the white Settlements at Spanish Fork that have been during the past season about fifty families belonging to the Petetent band. There are two other small bnads in that vicinity, and at Hobble Creek and the other at Summit Creek, a portion of whom have worked in this frame and the whole of whom in all about thirty families have promised to move to it in the Spring. The Settlement at Sanpete numbers at our time during the summer |
