Transcription

Richard <S.> Robinson, Prest. of Pinto, in 1857, testifies that a messenger or two came to him with a certain written note, signed by Isaac C. Haight, for John D. Lee, with instructions for Robinson to forward it to the Meadows: R. opened the note, and read it. Its purport; <was that> Word had been sent to Salt Lake City, “and Lee was to draw the Indians off and satisfy them with beef if necessary but not to kill the emigrants.” R. did not know whether the note was forwarded or not. Ask Thornton (Amos G.) who still resides in Pinto.
