"Providence has again smiled on us this year giving us a bountiful supply of wheat corn potatoes and other vegetables. The Indians also have enough to give them a wish to cultivate more largely another year. Some of them tell me they will not wander after this season but their entire settlement cannot be expected to last long as so many inducements exist to cause them to rove."
From letter of Dr. Marcus Whitman
