Excerpt from Report of a Visit to the Navajo, Pueblo, and Hualapais Indians of New Mexico and Arizona
New Mexico and Arizona, stopping for two days at St. Louis and a day in Kansas City in the interests of our work. While in St. Louis we were hospitably entertained by Dr. Charles E. Briggs, Corresponding Secretary of the branch of Indian Rights Association which was founded in that city during the past winter. The St. Louis Branch has been during the last six months actively engaged in the work.
On the morning of Sunday, May 4th, I addressed the congregation of St. George's Episcopal Church upon the Indian question. This opportunity was afforded me through the kindness of the Rector, the Rev. Dr. Fulton.
We left St. Louis on Sunday night and reached Kansas City by Monday morning. Upon our arrival we called on Rev. Henry Hopkins, Pastor of the First Congregational Church of that place, who showed marked interest in the object of our mission. To his kindness we are indebted for free transportation over the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fé Railway, which was generously accorded to us by the authorities of that road in consideration of the public character of our work.
On the afternoon of Wednesday, May 5th, we found ourselves in the ancient town of Santa Fé, New Mexico, amid quaint and picturesque surroundings and in the enjoyment of a delightful climate. On the evening of our arrival. Rev. H. O. Ladd, President of the University of New Mexico, and Rev. E. W. Meany, Rector of the Episcopal Church in Santa Fé, called upon us. In the course of conversation relative to the object of our visit, these gentlemen expressed the opinion that it would be feasible to form a branch of our Association in Santa Fé. Such an opinion, coming from those who were informed as to the sentiment of the place, was an encouraging sign, and subsequent events proved that these gentlemen were not mistaken in their expectations.
On Thursday morning, shortly after ten o'clock, we started by wagon from Santa Fé for the old Indian village, or pueblo, of San Ildefonso.
