I never heard of any circular letters
purporting to have been prepared and
circulated by Dr. Whitman to induce
immigration to Oregon in 1843, until
about 10 or 12 years after his death; and
I don’t believe any such letter was ever
circulated. Prior to coming to Oiegon
I lived in S t Clair county, Mo., and in
the region which furnished both the
Waldo and Applegate companies com

1843, and was very int.mate with bo‘ h

with Applegate three years and lived

confident that if any such circular let

Applegate or Waldo would have known
of the fact, for they were two of the
most intelligent and best informed men
that ever came to Oregon, and they
would have mentioned such letters in
their efforts to gather their companies
