A photocopy of a petition and letters sent by Indian agent George G. Mann of Onion Lake to Ottawa in November and December, 1887. This correspondence was in regard to the early release of Way-way-see-too-win (Dressy Man), Charlebois and Louison Mongrain who had been convicted of murder in 1885 and sentenced to life in prison. Mann names these three men as the ones who saved his life on 2 April 1885 after the so-called Frog Lake massacre.
