General Greely shares General Theodore J. Wint’s report from Colonel Alexander Rodgers. Rodgers has reported that he and Johnson met with the Ute chiefs and are convinced they are acting in “good faith.” They are taking the Indians to Fort Meade and will ask that several chiefs be sent to Washington to present their case, accompanied by Johnson, who has their confidence. Greely approves of Rodgers’ action and believes that another course might have resulted in the murder of many “defenceless settlers.” Greely instructed Wint to hold the Indians as prisoners at Fort Meade until further direction and he concurs with Wint and Rodgers that the chiefs should be permitted to present their case in Washington.
