Transcription The account of the capture of Star Child is very similar to what Paterson himself describes in his letter. The portion of the manuscript that has been transcribed here is the section that ties back to Paterson’s letter. <div> </div> Crozier, Cotton, and Kennedy were playing tennis in front of the post and when they saw the escape followed the fugitives. I sent the first men who turned out mounted and headed by Constable Hooley they caught up to the Indians about half a mile distant and unheeding their levelled [sic] rifles rode at them and they were soon in their old guard room. Their attempt to escape having failed the two asked to see Crozier at midnight in his quarters, and after the windows had been covered with blankets so that no light could be seen from the outside they gave him the name, description and full particulars of the Indian who had murdered Grayburn.  A despatch was then sent to Colonel Macleod who was in Benton, to the effect that the murderer was lurking in the fastness of the Bear Paw Mountains, and he asked the American authorities in legal form for his arrest but unless he could pay at once five thousand dollars in cash the sheriff would not make the attempt. He was in consequence obliged to wait until the accused would return back into Canada when we might have an opportunity to capture him. This did not present itself until 1887 when Sergeant Patterson of C. division at MacLeod learned that he was in the Blood camp, and under orders from Lt. Col. Jarvis, Superintendent commanding proceeded there accompanied by Jerry Potts and two constables. They arrived at dawn and went to the lodge in which the murderer, Star Child by name, was concealed, the intention being to take him without alarming the camp which it was believed was hostile. The Indian came out at dawn, and fully armed, covered Patterson with his rifle telling him that he would shoot if he moved hand or foot but the Sergeant as a ruse, spoke as if he were addressing someone behind Star Child, causing him to turn his head, whereupon Patterson threw himself upon him and in the struggle the rifle went off, rousing the whole camp, and the Indians turned out in hundreds. In the mean time Patterson had the murderer beneath him, half-choked, and finally handcuffed him while Jerry Potts, Chief Red Crow, Strangling Wolf, One Spot and Constable Wilson, by threats and exhortations kept the remainder at bay. The Sergeant then took Star Child to Macleod at the full speed of his horse, supported by Potts and the Constables and followed by the majority of the band as far as the fort where they were forced to halt and turn back. Star Child confessed to the murder and there was correlative evidence but in spite of it all the jury disagreed and he was set free, to be arrested for horse stealing a few years later and sent to the penitentiary for five years. There is no doubt that the jurymen who were acquitted were afraid that the conviction would bring on an Indian war, or cause the Bloods to kill their stock out of revenge.

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 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 of the second paragraph. Now for the unpleasant part of the business. Messrs. Seeley, Service and Co. have written the enclosed letter. I send a copy, and it is plain that they wish to make trouble and it is important that no step be taken without careful consideration of the position. It seems that they think that they should not be accused of delay, and your letter, a copy of which they sent, seems to have given them a loop-hole, and to me it seems that the only equitable defence I have is that they sent back the whole of the manuscript for me to write over again, and gave me no instructions as to what they really wanted, and when I sent the stuff to them in the first instance I did so at their request, and stated that I was not a writer, and it was necessary for them to “trim it up,” and that what I wrote did not seem to suit them.

Now my dear Mrs. Niblett please see that Seeley, Service & Co., have no complaint and when you advise with anyone about the fact that you have transferred to Mrs. Jenkins, make sure that you have no law suit nor any unpleasantness to smooth over. They can hurt the book, hurt you and hurt me for they have the documents to prove that in the matter of delay I am the only one to blame.

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.
