1838 October 16, Lapointe: Ramsay Crooks to William A. Aitken, Falls of St. Croix
Quantity: A.L.S. 2pp. 
Scope and Content Note: Writer received Aitken's letter by Mr. Crebassa. Is glad there is a prospect of the Chippewa treaty being carried into effect this autumn. Hopes Aitken will realize “something handsome” for the Outfit. Fall hunts of the Indians generally produce only inferior skins. Does not understand Dousman's reference to $28,000. Is leaving in a few days and will go by way of River Brule to the Falls of St. Croix. Mr. Bushnell is leaving for the Falls of St. Croix; has with him a list of claimants, and that will enable the Commissioner to make an equitable division of the $100,000.
