P.S. 

I am getting very impatient to wait, and you will make short work of it as possible.

I am at present putting in the crops for my family, before I leave.

The Lands I took other side of the Clear-water is still claimed by Cayote but you have decided to let me and my family have the land and I will so tell them.

I understood short time ago that Jim Moses and George Moses and other tried to get Indian Agent take charge of such cases [[underlined]] (disputed [[?]] lands) [[/underlined]]

you understand the object as well as I do.

But so far agent refused to do any such thing stating to the Indian. You (Miss Fletcher) had been send here for ^[[that]] special work [[?]]

Yours truly
