Omaha
March 12."  4

Hon. H. Price
Comm'r of Indian Affairs.

Sir:-

Your letter of March 5." marked "L." requesting information as to the probable time when the work in which I am engaged will be completed, is received.

In reply I would say that it seems probable that the work can be entirely completed and that I can return to Washington in May.  The severity of storms and weather this winter has occasionally interfered with the work as today we are in the midst of a blizzard no man or beast can face.
