Show regret to say that he still adhered so strenuously to them as to induce the belief that he was at least indifferent to the interests of the community by so manifestly endeavoring to prejudice the mind of the Government against them. He however promised to look over the matter and if he saw anything to retract that he would take great pleasure in doing so. But as he has failed to do it, I declined giving him any instructions as was designed. And he duriny my absence with an escort of twenty five or thirty men employed at the expence of the Government, as I understand has gone, intending to visit Carson Valley before his return. It is to be hoped that the enterprise will prove beneficial. I shall now await the result of his enterprise before acting in the premises. It cannot be expected much will be done towards establishing farms and other improvements for the Indians unless some appropriations are made for that purpose. Having just returned from my tour to the southern portion of the Territory, and not having time previous to the departure of this mail to make all the statements required in your letter, must crave the indulgence of another mail, when the required information will accompany the quarterly report ending 30 of June. If it is usual to furnish super-intendencies with blanks they would be very gratefully received. I have the honor to be very respectfully and truly your obedient servant. Brigham Young Governor and Superintendent of Ind. Affrs.--U.T. |
