Received the "Sun" and the marked letter of Bishop Whipple . The Regular Army was not responsible for the butchery of the Indians by Anthony, who was commissioned by the governor of Colorado. The terrible affair under Wassells in Wyoming was unavoidable as the duty lay before Wassell. The whole treatment of the Indians is sickening. The responsibility is with the government as treaties are made only to be broken. The appointment of the agents under the cloak of religion aids the scoundrels who pilfer from the Indians. The testimony of officers shows that the Northern Cheyennes were starved in this territory. The Cheyennes were forced South against their wish and, starved, broke out, and returned. The details of their treatment at Camp Robinson he knows only from news reports. The deprivation of fire and food was inhuman. The slaughter was terrible. They should have been disarmed before incarceration. They raised their death song and died as they had lived, independent and courageous. They died as they would have caused whites to die, and as they did cause fifty settlers to die in Kansas, with horrible barbarity, fully equal to the slaughters of Anthony. Bishop Whipple, whom Dallas admires, is one among many of the Sects, who has accomplished anything with the Indians. The "Sun" does its customary injustice to the Army. If the Interior Dept. would be compelled to turn the Indian Bureau over to the Army, in a few years the Indian would have no better friend than the Army. Fort Supply is desolate. It is between Beaver and Wolf creeks, a few miles East of the North Fork of the Canadian River. There are no Indians in the immediate vicinity. It should be more important in the near future. The altitude is about 3000 feet and about the same latitude of Humboldt, Tennessee. They said goodbye to Mass when they left Leavenworth, Kansas, but on his journey to Fort Supply Dallas met Father Ferdinand Wolf, O.S.B., on his return from giving a mission at Fort Supply. Father Wolf was invited by Mrs. Ives, a sister of Mr. Fitzgerald, now at St. Mary's. Dallas hopes to have Father Wolf down again about the 24th of March. A Society should be founded to provide the army with Missions. Hudson should not forget to send the papers. The grandmother of Dallas' children has just died in Angers, France, and he would like Hudson to pray for her. He sends his sincere regards to Father General Edward Sorin. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 8pp. 8 vo
