GREELEY. Oct. o. 1879.
l. as the eldest daughter of the martyred Agent
Meeker. OF the White River Agency wish TO express
| my feelings In . limited way about this horrible
massacre. Had there been half much expedition
and force put In operation from the time OF my
| fathers calling for troops until the battle
| az there has been sinco the battle this
| horrible massacre would never have occurred The
| government with its slow movements has let my
father be murdered when IL could have been pre-
vented. My father wrote Governor Pitkin ON Sep
| tember 10 that his and all the lives At tho agency
were In peril. and requested troops. After three
weeks delay small detachment scnt that 1t
was overcome. giving the Indians more power than
| they had before Had the cowboys of Colorado
| been called out September 10 they would have
reached there in time to the lives at the agency
| and they would have made ciear . work OF the
red devils that it would have been hard to ind
| alive to-day
| than all the Indians from the beginning OF their
creation until the present time. and yet such man
as my father, with brains, intellect and power to
| move the thoughts OF men-his life In now igno-
miniously put out by the hand of . savage foe
| whose life soul is not worthy Of dog. and no
| power in the land to stay the decd. What q mag
unanimous government We have to pampcrs set OF
creatures whose existence should have been thing
| of the past long ago.
oh, my fathcr Could have but died in your
stead! My protector. my hope and joyi Oh. tho
broken hearts of widows. daughters and sisters who
| to-day ut this hour mourn the loss OF their dear
martyred ones who their support. love. Lie
and their all! They gone from their sides
forever with only sorrow and desolation for their
comforter through life. Who pay the price of
this mighty woe? Truly. the blood OF the martyrcd
ones cries out for vengeance and shall tho voice OF
anguish be hushed? ROSE MEEkER.
