Sir
As I have an opportunity I will send a few lines. Nothing new has transpired of an alarming character recently. The Indian alarmist and exterminators are cooling off and the good people of the Valley are beginning to believe they were sold. Sams people are all at the Fort and apparently quite contented and I believe the people of the Valley are content to let them remain so. as soon as this organization shall have been completed in accordance with the proclamation, no longer any danger need be feared from unprovoked assaults. Bruce is elected Major, a very sensible man and quite friendly to Sams people. I have but little doubt in the course of a month or so the Indians will be permitted to return to their reserve. a healthy reaction is taking place in the public mind and none seem to doubt his innocence. As the express man is in great haste I will close, & write you by next mail
Yours in hast
