September Dawn Page #7

after the massacre,

he called at my office and had much to say

with regard to the Indians,

their being stirred up to anger

and threatening the settlement

of the whites.

He then commenced

giving an account of the massacre.

I told him to stop. I did not wish my feelings

harrowed up by a recital of details.

Did you, on the 10th of September 1857,

receive a communication

from Isaac C. Haight,

or any other person of Cedar City,

concerning a company of emigrants

called the Arkansas company?

I did, from Isaac C. Haight

or John D. Lee,

who was a farmer for the Indians.

- And have you that communication?

- I have not.

I have made diligent search for it,

but I cannot find it.

Did you answer that communication?

I did, to Isaac C. Haight, who was

then acting President at Cedar City.

Will you state the substance

of your letter to him?

Yes, it was to allow

this company of emigrants

- and all companies of emigrants...

- Ready.

... to pass through the country unmolested.

Aim.

And to allay the angry feelings

of the Indians as much as possible.

Fire.
