Figure 9

Howling Wolf, Cheyenne, 1877.
This is the first page of a picture letter sent by Howling Wolf to his wife,
Curly Hair, to tell her of the death of Heap of Birds at Fort Marion.
Heap of Birds was the most eminent Cheyenne prisoner held at Fort Marion.
Howling Wolf was in Boston at the time receiving care for eye problems which, if left untreated, would have led to blindness.
