The Indians have not troubled us much--there were a few Pauvants here a week ago who had thieving propensities, but they have left and all is peace. We keep a good lookout for them. The military regulations are strict, and all seem determined to follow counsel that we may be saved thereby. Respectfully, I remain your brother, Heruy Lunt John D. Lee wrote a letter to Brigham Young which was published in the February 16 edition of the Deseret News. The letter contained the following: On Sunday before Christmas the people voted to enclose the City with walls, bars, and gates before they should dance and make merry, and from that time on a general rush was made until the gates were put up This was accomplished on the 5th of January. The four wards which comprise the City had the privilege of the meeting house, two days each. In the same letter Lee, who was closely associated with the Indians, described a conflict between the Navajos and the Pihedes. Quite a few Navajos assembled outside of the wall near Lee's house, while the Pihedes were inside the Fort. The Navajos shot a Pihede in the head, and the Pihedes were demanding the murderer. Lee wrote: Brother Little and I stood on the Fort wall, we had the wall between us and, because the Pihedes had helped us build the wall, we had promised them protection within the Fort. The Pihedes were persuaded to forgive the Navajos, and all was peace. January 24: On the 20th, a wind storm fiom the southwest blew down some 15 to 20 rods [about 300 feet] of our Fort Wall on the north and south lines.'' It was necessary to restore the damaged wall as soon as possible
