Mitchell to Bittiug Bull was to the effect that he desired bin to come and visit Fort Peck, hoping that such a trip would result in his retiring upon the reservation and ceasing from hostilitics uguinst the whites. BITTING BULL REPLIES JULY 27: “Tell him I am coming before long to his post to trade. Tell him I did not commence; 1 am getting old; that 1 DID NOT WANT TO PIGHT, but the whites rush on me, and I am compelled to defend myself; that but for the soldiers stationed ou the Roscbud, I, with my people, would haye been thers before that, 101 wus assured of the protection of the Great Father, Iwould go to Fort Peck for the purpore of making peace.
