Office Indian Agent
Rogue River Valley
May 12. 1855
Dear Sir
The person on trial for killing an Indian has been found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to two years
imprisonment in the penatentry. This was not entirely satisfactory to the Indians, but they express a willingness to bide the decission and suppose it is right.
If it is the intention of the Superintendant that the hay on the reserve should be sold I deserve to know in what manner it had better be disposed of if by public notice to recieve bids or by private sale. I have recieved several applications to sell and as the haying season will soon be here, I would like an answer to this immediately
Yours Respectfully
Geo. H. Ambrose
