re: true to his "prediction", Hartsuff is now in the Rockies. He describes the setting to his brother and then goes on to discuss the "complicated" situation with the Utes who are being forced from one reservation to another in the wake of 1) the "Mackie and Thomasburg massacre" and 2) the discovery of "several rich mines" on their former territory.
