28 May 1876
Hartsuff, Arthur (fl. 1870-1893)
Autograph letter signed
Title: to "my dear wife"
re: Hartsuff reports his arrival at Fort Fetterman from Laramie, Wyoming (a journey of about one week through bad weather). On arrival at Fetterman, Hartsuff reports that he was attached to the staff of General Crook as Medical Director and that the company, augmented by three hundred Crows, left Fetterman on 1876/5/29 with only the barest of provisions: "Officers have by order only one robe and two blankets, no table, no chair - in fact nothing except a bag or valise."
