I know nothing against them, though I have daily opportunities of intercourse with their companies in this neighbourhood, and have been well acquainted with their behaviour six weeks for some^ months past. With regard to their intercourse with the Indian tribes in particular, I would remark that it has been greatly more circumspect and un= exceptionable than is usually found to be the case with emigrant bodies passing through this region of country.

The cause of our exile we need not repeat: it is already with you, suffice it to say, that a combination of fortuitous, illegal and unconstitution al circumstances have placed us in our present situation, on a journey which we design shall end in a location west of the Rocky Mountains, and within the basin of the Great Salt Lake or Bear River valley, as soon as circumstances shall permit, be- lieving that to be a point where a good living will require hard labor, and consequently will be courted by no other people, while it is surrounded by so unpopul- lous but fertile country. While on our way thither and beyond the borders of the States, we were met by Capt. J. Allen of your army of the West, proffering us the enrolment of 500 men to be marched into California, via Santa Fe, there to be discharged at the expiration of one year, receiving the pay of regular soIdiers, and other valuable and unusual e[-]nodwments. To this proffer we promptly Re- ----- new page (VMSS792_S3_SS2_B14_F4_I3_p002.jpg) sponded, though it had left 500 of our loaded teams standing on the Prairies of the Potawatamie and Oma- ha Nation, and nearly as many families des[--]tute of their head and guardians, only as they are coun- selled and nourished by their friends, who were already overborne with cares and worn out with anx- iety and fatigue, but in the midst of this we were cheered by the presence of our friend Mr[-]. Little of New Hampshire, who assured us of the personal friendship of the President in the act before us and the assurance though not doubted by us in the least, was made doubly sure by the testimony of Col. Kane of Philadelphia, whose presence in our midst and the ardour with which he has espous- ed the cause of a persecuted and suffering people and the testimony he has borne of your Excellency's kind feelings have kindled up a spark in our hearts which had been well nigh extinguished, not a spark of love of liberty or democracy that can- not be! but love of a country or [---]ers from whom previously we had received but little save neglect or persecution. We also received assurances from Lieut. Col. Allen of the "Mormon Battalion" that we should be safe, and that it would be proper for us to stop, or any Indian Land, while it was necessary, c[--] ----- new page (VMSS792_S3_SS2_B14_F4_I4_p001.jpg) Cutler's Park, Omaha Nation Near Council Bluffs Sept. 7, 1846 To James K. Polk, President U.S. Sir: Since our communication of the 9th Ultimo to your Excellency, the Omaha Indians have returned from their summer hunt and we have had an interview in general council with their chiefs and braves who expressed a willingness that we should tarry on their lands and use what wood and timber would be necessary for our convenience while we were preparing to prosecute our journey as may be seen from a duplicate of theirs to us of the 31st of August which will be presented by Col. Kane. In a Council they were much more specific than in their writings and Big Elk in behalf of his nation requested us to lend them teams to draw their corn at harvest, and help keep it after it was deposited; to assist them in building houses making fields doing some blacksmithing, etc. etc. and to teach some of their young men to do the same, and also keep some goods and trade with them while we tarry among them. We responded to all their wishes in the same spirit of kindness manifested by them and told them we would do them all the good we could, with the same proviso they made; if the President was willing; -- And this is why we write. Hitherto we have kept aloof from all Indian intercourse except in councils as referred to, and giving them a few beeves when hungry, but we have the means of doing them a favour by instruct- ----- new page (VMSS792_S3_SS2_B14_F4_I4_p002.jpg) ing them in agriculture, mechanic arts &c., if it is desirable. It might subject us to some inconvenience in our impoverished situation to procure goods for their accomodation and yet, if we could do it, we might in return receive as many skins and furs for as would prove a valuable temporary substitute for worn out clothing and tents in our camp which would be no small blessing. A small division of our camp is some 2 or 300 miles west of this on the rush bottoms among manifested Puncu Indians where similar feelings are manifested towards our people. Should your excellency consider the requests of the Indians for instruction &c reasonable and signify the same to us we will give them all that information in Mechanism and farming the nature of the case will admit, which will give us the opportunity of getting the assistance of their men to help us herd and labour which we have much needed since the organization of the Battalion A License giving us permission to trade with the Indians while we are tarrying on or passing through their lands made out to the name of Newel K. Whitney our Agent in Camp would be a favour to our people and our red neighbors; All of which is submitted to your Excellency's consideration and confidence of Colonel Kane, Most respectfully.

Pres. George Albert Smith FROM SALT LAKE CITY MORMON CHURCH RECORDS Cutlers Park, Omaha Nation, Sept. 8, 1846. A blessing by John Smith, Patriarch, upon the head of Thos. L. Kane, son of John K. and Jane, born Jan. 27, 1822 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Bro. Thomas, by virtue of the Priesthood vested in me I lay my hands upon thy head in the name of Jesus of Nazareth and seal upon thee all the blessings of the New and Ever- lasting Covenant, even all that a father could desire his own child to enjoy, inasmuch as thou hast had it in thy heart to promote the interest of the children of men the Lord thy God is well pleased with thine exertions. He hath given his angels charge over thee, guard thee in times of danger, to deliver thee out of all thy troubles and defend thee from all thine enemies, not a hair of thine head shall ever fall by the hand of an enemy for thou art called to do a great work on the earth and thou shalt be blest in all thine under- takings. Thy name shall be had in honorable remembrance among the Saints to all generations. Thou shalt have a companion to comfort thy heart, to sustain thee under all thy trials. Thou shalt raise up sons and daughters that shall be esteemed as the excellent of the earth; they shall be very mighty in the House of Israel and shalt have power to accomplish every purpose of their hearts; no power on earth shall stay thine hand. Thou shalt be clothed with all the power of the Priesthood in fullness. Thou shalt be able to unfold all the hidden mysteries of the Redeemer's Kingdom, to understand the laws by which the Most High governs His vast dominions. In due time through obedience in keeping the commandments of the Lord thou shalt have power to rule and govern the works of thy hands as the Most High governs His. For I seal upon thee all the blessings of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Thou shalt stand at the head of a numerous people like Jacob for thou art of the House of Joseph of the Blood of Ephraim and I seal upon thee and thy posterity the same bless- ings that Jacob sealed upon the sons of Joseph which is thy right through the lineage of thy fathers which has been handed down to thee from generation to generation from the days of Ephraim, thy Father, and shall continue in thy posterity until time shall be no more. This is thy blessing, Bro. Thomas, inasmuch as thou shalt continue seeking the favor of the Lord's people keeping his commandments not a word of thy blessing shall fail for I seal it upon thee in the name of thy Redeemer, even so, Amen. Copied Jan. 13 <13>, 1959. from L.D.S. church records. The above is a formal "Blessing" I referred to. It was bestowed on grandfather, Col. Thomas L. Kane, when he was 24, single and in frail health, by the Uncle of Jos. Smith. ----- new page (VMSS792_S3_SS2_B14_F6_I2_p001.jpg) $ $ $ $50.– 5 $50– Dear Sir, I wr I Allow me to write to you in behalf of a number of the people pursuing denominated Mormons. now upon their migration [---] westward, to ask a favor of your Department. to the number of abt 15000 These persons ^ have halted for the winter at Old Council Bluffs on the upper Missouri where they will remain till the Spring beyond enough to permit them to pursue their journey of migration by the [---] is far advanced ^and the grass of the Prairie sufficiently grown to afford on a s[---] food to their Cattle.
