Correspondence outward : W.F. Tolmie

The file consists of letters outward written by W.F. Tolmie at Fort Nisqually between 1853 and 1858. The letters (mostly transcripts) are to various HBC forts and to William Sinclair of the nearby Puget Sound Agricultural Company and relate to activities in and around the Fort and relations with the Americans and the local Indigenous community. There is also a letter to the Governor of Washington Territory, Fayette McMullen, dated January 12, 1858 making an application for clemency on behalf of an Indigenous man named Leschi.

In addition, there is an unfolded envelope addressed to Tolmie from William Sinclair dated April 20, 1848 but the letter is no longer attached.
