    Letters regarding Richard H. Kern

    Manuscripts

    Contemporary copies of letters regarding a ring belonging to Richard H. Kern, which was recovered in the aftermath of the Gunnison Massacre. In the first letter from Brigham Young to Edward Griffin Beckwith and Robert Murray Morris, Young writes that Indian agent Major S.B. Rose had just returned from Fillmore City, where he acquired from the Pauvan Indians a U.S. Rifle, "one finger ring, marked with K. and having a bloodstone," and part of a brass odometer. Young continues that he is sending the items on to Beckwith and Morris via interpreter D.B. Huntington (1854). The second letter is from James Hervey Simpson to Young, inquiring after the whereabouts of the ring recovered by George W. Bean and that if no one had done so he would like to return it to Kern's family (1858). The final letter is from Young to Simpson telling him that he had already sent the ring to Beckwith and Morris (1859).
