I saw Mr. John D. Lee at his residence at Harmony on our return with the children of the massacre and camped at his house. I should think his residence at that time about fifty miles from the evidences of cultivation by the Indians at the place referred to. Do not know whether he lived in the same place or not in 1856. I returned a second time to the same place with troops, for the purpose of recovering two more of the children, who I was informed by Chief Kanosh had been left behind. I do not know the value of services paid hands by the day in 1856 or 1859.
