Letters received, St. Peters

Selected letters and other documents relating largely to the St. Peters Indian agency near Fort Snelling (Minn.), with some concerning the agency at Sault Ste. Marie. Many are from Lawrence Taliaferro, Henry Dodge, Henry R. Schoolcraft, and John Tanner, and concern the Dakota Indians. They discuss agency operations and employees, Indian lands, annuity goods, traders, treaties, the Fort Snelling military reservation, relations among Indian tribes, and the government saw and grist mills operated by the Fort Snelling garrison at the Falls of St. Anthony.
