Second: Title to their country still
good, though much of it has been sold
by the Government. Third: Supplies
furnished by Government in goods and
rations insufficient. Fourth: No
place at Agency where they can trade
their peltries for necessaries. Tnbby
said eve want good man rs trader,
large supply of goods and good man
as Agent. No Agent has acted right
with us. Gen. Morrow's talk seems to
have had most happy effect, resulting
in the agreement that the Indians of
the White river and Unitah Agencies
will not leave their reservations during
the present year, without permission.
Application will be made for the
principal chiefs to visit Washington
and state their own case personally to
the government, and if not granted
they will ask the appointment of COM

their grievances.

reservations.
