A letter to Fred S. Bell, president of the Board of Directors of the Winona Free Public Library, from Winona Telephone Company indicating the donation of telephone service to the library.
This letter was sent to Dr. A. O. Hagen, a local dentist, from presidential candidate Wendell Wilkie a few weeks before the national election for the presidency.
This letter, dated August 26, 1862, describes the fighting between settlers and Dakota men who participated in a conflict in a southern Minnesota community, most likely in New Ulm. Wheelock also describes his experiences as a member of a burial party that ventured out into the surrounding countryside. Many dead settlers were found, as well as a group of thirteen settlers who had been hiding for three days. Wheelock states his intention to leave Minnesota if the fighting does not stop soon and if he is not able to feel that he is safe in his home.
