September 1845: Daniel Spencer has returned a few days ago from the West. He
reported in substance as follows:-“Their mission was to the Seneca Indians.
They proceeded to about 500 miles up the Missouri River. They there met brother
Denay and from him learned that Dunham was dead. They tarried five weeks with
the Stockbridge tribe. This tribe manifested great kindness towards them and
the Mormon people. They have considerable knowledge of the Mormons and of what
is going on; their interest seems to be identified with ours. From Denay they
learned what the Cherokees had given permission for many number of our people
to settle nearby them and were willing to lend us an assistance they could, or
to go west with us to explore the country. George Herring has been with several
tribes and says they are all friendly and seem to understand what is going on
and are ready to render us any assistance they can. Many of the Stockbridge
tribe are joined in with the Baptists but are dissatisfied. Their chief expects
to be here about the 6th of October. They preached to them and they
seem satisfied with our doctrine. From what brother Denay said they concluded
it unnecessary to go to the Seneca tribe, they learned that Denay had
accomplished what they were sent for.
