Antoine Cabana, 
                  Sir
   It gives me pleasure to inform you that your application to receive allotments of land for yourself and children has been granted by the Interior Department.
   Owing to my severe illness which still confines me to the house, I cannot allot your lands and pass the papers at present, but must wait until I am able to go over ground and see the location you have chosen.  I mention this that you may not [[?]] from your work, to come to the reserve.  I will notify you when I am able to go into the field.
   Yours respectfully
   A.C. Fletcher
   Spl. U.S. Ind. Agent
