Sobre este artículo
Autograph letter, signed, on United States Indian Service letterhead measuring 7.75 x 9.75 inches. In letterhead blanks Milroy has written "Yakama" for Agency and below that, "Fort Simcoe Mch. 2, 1883." Letter is written both recto and verso in Milroy's hand, addressed to "Son Bruce." Old folds, now mellowed, and two small damp smears affecting two words, but not illegibly.
Milroy writes his son Bruce that a $150 check is enclosed from rent of agency buildings, and that the son should present the check to his brother, Walt, to be credited on the "Hartsuck note" held against Milroy in Puyallup. Milroy complains that Bruce doesn't write enough, and suggests son Walt visit during vacation by taking the railroad to the Dalles, then by stage to "Yakima City." Signed, "R. H. Milroy."

Coming out West from Indiana, Milroy enjoyed several government positions in Washington Territory, the spoils of cronyism, including Superintendent of Indian Affairs and US Prosecuting Attorney, before serving as Indian Agent at the Yakama Agency, 1882-1885. Ficken, in Washington Territory (Washington State University Press, 2002) writes that the 1884 removal of the territorial office of Superintendent of Indian Affairs left Milroy "out of business ... and in debt." Thus, presumably, the note owed in Puyallup. The family name Hartsuck populates South Sound activity from the 1860s-on. In 1869 one of the "Mercer Girls," Ann Conner, married Mark Hartsuck. Milroy's sons, Bruce and Walt, established Yakima's first law firm in 1855.
