Transcription of the relevant part of Niblett's letter discussing Seeley Service and the South African section of Steele's manuscript. I am most annoyed today with Seeley service. I wrote them to return the MSS of the S.A. war and lo and behold they send me the enclosed. I have made up my mind to quite them. They are far too slow. As soon as I get the MSS from you I will rush them it through. Do not bother about the S.A. matter returned as Lord Strathcona suggested no alteration so please return this with the other. Just as soon as the MSS comes there will be no further delay. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Transcription November 18 1912 Dear Colonel Steele, Your letter of 16th inst to hand, am sorry you could not visit Maple Creek this Fall we are getting anxious about the commencement of the Armory Building & you could have probably given us some encouragement. I also missed you from the Stampede gathering at Calgary we had a great time renewing old aquaintances. You should get a copy of the Veterans Parade photo from Marcel at Calgary, it does not show all who were there but most of them appear. The freshest looking man of the whole bunch was Asst Comm Jst Mc I. and one of the oldest looking was Pete McDonald, but the most of them are looking good for some years yet it is a case of survival of the fittest. Regarding arrest of “Star Child” “Kakatosoinak” Jerry Potts & myself were working on the case for some months on information given by “Weasel Moccasin” Api-itskiw this is the man you mention as having been first arrested in June 1881 we heard from a woman we were familiar with that Star Child had returned & in the Blood Camp reported to may Col H.D Jarvis he sent me with Jerry, Const W. Wilson the redheaded Dentist and _____ [illegible word in parentheses] James Jarvis now Major & Cmd to get here, we left Macleod after midnight for the Blood Reserve and arrived before dawn we had a description of the locality in the Camp where he kept himself and laid close watching the lodge he was supposed to be in, at the final sign of dawn he came out of the lodge, fully armed & got sight of one & got his Winchester Carbine on me at about 10 feet away. Hold me of [sic] I made a move hand or foot he would shoot he held the gun on me for fully half an hour until I distracted his attention by appearing to speak to someone behind him, he turned finally around & I jumped on him and the carbine discharged. This alarmed the whole camp who turned out and surrounded the party. I had Star Child on the ground pretty well choked, then got the handcuffs on him. Red Crow, Strangling Wolf and “One Spot” made the other Indians leave us alone & helped us get Star Child away from the Camp, but about 200 bucks followed us to MacLeod, and in spite of the Chief. He was tried before Judge MacLeod and a jury of six some time after the arrest and acquitted “not sufficient evidence” He practically admitted his guilt a dozen times stated what he killed Graburn for but he got off. Damned Jurors made his sneak [sentence is almost illegible] into the brush when the affair started and next showed up until we were crossing Billy River he always had a yellow streak. Your book will be an interesting publication when completed and I surely must have a copy, for the experiences we all met with in the old days were well worth recording. Any assistance I can give you for recalling circumstances from 75/ on will be cheerfully rendered. Yours sincerely, D.

Transcription of the second paragraph We like the last batch of MS. which came to us through her, much better than the earlier. It contains personal incidents, and will therefore appeal more strongly to the reading public. The account of the Red River Expedition would be greatly improved if it could be dealt with in the same manner. Its diary form gives it a sameness which is undesirable. We consulted with Mrs. Niblett and finally arranged with her that it would be well to compress it, which we have done, but there is a certain amount of linking up necessary. This we could not easily carry out so when you are doing that, we would suggest that you should introduce a good deal of personal incident and adventure into this part also. We hope this will be possible. If it is not of course the account must appear without it.

Transcription of the part of the letter where Herbert Jenkins defends Niblett. She worked so hard and loyally in your interests that now she feels very acutely that you should not be pleased with what she had done. As for ourselves, after receiving your repeated assurances that Mrs. Niblett was your agent and had full authority, we naturally looked to her as if she were yourself, and nothing was done without her full acquiescence, and I think, if you will permit me to say so, that you could not have been better served. Had the book been her own she could not have shown a livelier interest. If you had only asked to see the revised manuscript or proofs all these difficulties would have been avoided.

Transcription of a passage from the letter I am writing a book of reminiscences and would like to know if you can give any pointers about the strike in the mountains. A friend of mine has stated that James Ross turned out with a lot of men and an engine to go to our assistance at the barracks but I have recollection [written across this section of the letter is “This is not correct” in pencil and “not correct” in ink] except that after we had captured Hugh Behan I sent for a locomotive to take him up to Palliser [written next to this passage is “This is correct” in pencil] Last page is written in pencil most likely by Irving. I have taken a novel way of answering but I think a safe way--It keeps the matter wel [sic] in hand & condensed.

The Ross document is also not transcribed as it is typed. My good old friend I have to apologize for not having been able to attend to your request before but not expecting any letters of importance had not told the P.O. to forward mine to above [Toronto] where I have been staying since Xmas. However I went up Saturday I found upon reading the statement sent by you and the letters, the proper and most speedy way was to go straight to see Fury which I did this Monday morning, from Newmarket & getting off at Richmond Hill walking about a mile to his place. I read him each paragraph separately and heard what he had to say to each making a tick in pencil which was to mean “that's so” if he agreed with what was stated. His mind seems quite clear upon what did occur about any-thing which he saw himself & all the notes in pencil are his words. Engineer A___________[illegible name] joined in and with Louis Lukes paymaster went forward with Fury and some of your men to pay the men which pay was principally Back [double underlined] pay and the with-holding of which was the cause of the commotion. I was myself present at our camp with 5 men and about 50 horses the rest of the outfit having gone on with our James Ross to the _______[illegible word] to start work there, therefore leaving out Beaver crk camp empty and which the strikers intended to take possession of until matters were settled. I told some of them I would be “delighted” to have them which pleased them very much but they never came or molested us. Fury tells me that all the assistance James Ross gave was order Engine and Caboose to take Hugh Behan up to Palliser where he was fined $ 100. I will be glad to hear from you that this has been of some service. H Erskine Irving Note included with the letter: I have looked up Pete Kerr your orderly and got him to go carefully over the James Ross statement. He corroborates Fury in every instance. I have also marked in red ink in your letter to me as not correct what your friend stated. Neither of these men remember [sic] any thing of that.
