Much time has been consumed in the mixed blood cases, which otherwise would have been used in allotting the lands.  By permission of the agent I am now enforcing the attention of the refractory and troublesome element and hope to be through with them before the close of this month.  The completing and copying of the reports, the numbering and distributing of papers will possibly take 4 or 5 weeks longer.

The allottment work has involved the settlement of many difficulties and differences between families all of which have demanded patient hearing and adjudication in order to secure peace and prosperity for the future.
