Scope and Contents

Morgan has been to New York City to check New York Public Library files. He was interested in the Frederick S. Dellenbaugh diaries, books, and manuscripts. He found a letter to the Buffalo Express pasted into one of the diaries telling of John D. Lee's story of the Mountain Meadows massacre. The letter tells of the wagon train at Spanish Fork and at Cedar City, and of poisoning the springs to kill the Indians. It also states that the attack was planned by the Cedar City Council.
