    u.c. [typed on paper label]: 663 - 4. WASHAKIE \ This well-known chief is a man of more than ordinary \ ability, and his record as a steadfast friend of the white peo- \ple has come down to the present time without a blemish. \ He is now well advanced in years, but still retains his \ vigor, and his influence over the tribe. One of the above \ portraits was made in the South Pass encampment, and \ the other is a copy of one made in Salt lake City.c
