This collection consists of some original correspondence of the Washington Territorial Governor Fayette McMullin. It contains 18 letters of incoming and outgoing correspondence pertaining to Territorial governmental matters. One letter is written to Gov. McMullin from Wm. M. Morrow, requesting that he not grant a reprieve to Chief Leschi for his involvement in the Indian Wars in Washington Territory. Mr. Morrow was the Representative in the Territorial Legislature for Sawamish County in 1855. There are also two copies of letters from Captain George Pickett describing relations with local Indian tribes in northwest Washington.
