(MONTANA). 3 ALsS. 1-3pgs. 1885-6. Red Bluff, Montana Territory. A trio of letters signed “J. W. Williams” and written to the Auditor of Montana Territory in Helena. In all three cases, Williams inquires about a missing warrant for bear furs, getting quite testy in the third and longest one at the fact that his warrant never arrived: “…I can not nor I will not make afadavet [sic] that Warrant No 3069 is lost as I never had it in my possession. It never reached me at Red Buff [sic] PO…if you have not done your duty and neglected your Bisness [sic] it is not my fault. I dont [sic] propose to put my self to any more trouble on your account & am not Responsible for your acts. I dont [sic] think that you ever mailed the warrant to me at Red Bluff at any time…”. The letters are in fine condition. (Inventory #: 5828)
