Albert Carrington was hired to serve as an assistant on the Stansbury Expedition, a Corps of Topographical Engineers whose primary mission was to explore and survey the valleys of the Great Salt Lake, Utah Lake, and the Jordan River. John W. Gunnison was second in command and he developed a warm friendship with Carrington which lasted until his untimely death in 1853. In the late 1980s, a collection of Albert Carrington letters was donated to the University of Utah. In this collection are eight letters from Gunnison to Carrington, covering the years 1851 to 1853. They provide insight into Utah affairs in Washington, D.C. and give additional facts about the expedition. The last letter is written from Manti, only eight days before Gunnison was killed.
