POSTAL HISTORY
Another historic letter written in 1879 by an Indian Trader in at the Cheyenne River Agency in Dakota Territory (now South Dakota) - the writer was Robert Caton - originally from Plainfield, Illinois (southwest of Chicago near Joliet).  He writes about how "quiet" the Indians are now - things have settled down in the disputes with the U.S. Government but he believes the government "is making a mitake in not letter Sitting Bull come in as he wants to, I am afraid ...that the result will be that the northern part of Dakota and Montana will be overrun with hostile bands all next summer.  And it will have a bad effect upon those Indians at the Agencies who have been peaceful for a long time......"  He writes about how is dog Carl was almost killed by eating poison set out to kill wolves.  Also writes about how well his trading business is going. See typewritten transcript in the scans.
