Letter from Special Indian Agent Cyrus Beede to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs Hiram Price in Washington, DC, February 2, 1885

Beede, who was commissioned by the federal government to investigate the condition of the Florida Indians, explains his difficulties in interacting with the widely spread indigenous camps in Florida. He notes that the Florida Indians seem well adjusted to life in the Everglades, and are suspicious of actions by the U.S.
