Bro Jose. H. Johnson

Indian Walker has been here for a few days, and he seems to be very anxious to get the Indian Girl in your possession, he claims her as his sister; she was taken in Provo during the Utah War four years ago.

If it is her own free will & choice to go with him, all right, I consider her free, but if she would rather ramain as she is, she should have the privilege, But it would please me much better if she would come to this city, where they could see her oftener.
