Annotation

[1] LS, MnHi. Bishop Whipple's letter of March 6 was concerned with ``the sad condition of the Indians of this State, who are my heathen wards. . . . I ask only justice for a wronged and neglected race. . . . The United States has virtually left the Indian without protection. . . . The first thing needed is honesty. . . . The second. . . is to frame instructions so that the Indian shall be the ward of the Government. . . .'' (Henry B. Whipple, Lights and Shadows of a Long Episcopate, pp. 510-14).
