Three letters from Old Agency, Montana, to two banks in Helena, Montana (the First National and Merchants' banks) dating from 1874, 1876, and 1892. Old Agency is and was an area primarily inhabited by Native Americans, and was the site of a mission house and boarding school called St. Xavier Mission Church. The staff of St. Xavier proselytized to the local Crow Native Americans, with the building also serving as an orphanage and hospital. The 1892 letter is addressed from St. Xavier.
