My dear Dr Ellinwood
Your letter of Jun 26 enclosing the Dept. letter giving the listing of the Langford claim reached me duly. Many thanks.

Herewith I return the Dept. letters not liking to risk them longer in the viscissitudes of camp life. I have made use of them, and the case is again before the Dept. The question is by no means settled and may take some time yet before that happy day arrives.

I trust you are quite well.

In haste
Yours very truly

Your letter concerning the grants of land has not been rec'd. I hope you will soon write concerning your mission stations here.
