Letter from Harriet Henderson in Willard, Box Elder County, Utah Territory, to her uncle in Iowa. In the letter Henderson writes of the Civil War and subsequent difficulties in getting cotton, partly prompting Utah Mormons to grow their own crops; of an emigration party headed for the Salmon River gold mines; and of a battle between the California Volunteers and Indians (probably the Battle of Bear River near Franklin, Idaho), following which the Indians were "eager for revenge," making travel in the Washington Territory dangerous. Henderson also describes the Utah Territory and concludes that "we are certainly blessed in this territory with peace and plenty."
