The Poor Indian Letter From Saut St Marie September
A September 28 letter reports about six hundred Indians receiving their payments and gifts then dispersing in glee. Chiefs wonder why per head totals were not higher, while belief grows the money came from sales of lands for whiskey. The scene ends with the Indians wandering streets in distress as the purchase money fades. In Norvomx October 17, city health reports mild improvement with few cases.
