The documents were secured from Mrs. Martha GUllam-Colllns of Dallas, ths daughter .of Oen. Cornelius Gilliam, ths famous Indian fighter, who lost his life in the Cayuss Indian war of 1841. Ons of ths most interesting of these papers' is letter from -Hon. K. Johnson! postmaster-general, dated March S, 1847, to "Oen. Cornelius Oil- 11am. Upper Willamette. Oregon . Tr- rltory," who -was first special agent of the postoSloe department - of the United States on ths Pacific ooast The letter contains Instructions as to mail routes, appointments of postmssters, fees and other business.
