[[preprinted]] 99 [[/preprinted]] In the Field Nez Perce Aug 26 9 Hon. Commissioner Indian Affairs Sir: As I have not yet received your approval of my monthly report of Irregular Employees for June, I begin to fear that the report never reached you. It was sent by a man passing my camp, and he may have lost it. The report gave the days the Surveyor has been employed, 22 in all, at $8 per day making $176.00/100. My driver & interpreter one month. $60.00/100 Both these men are soon needing their pay, and until I receive your approval I can not give them any money. I would send a duplicate of the report but I am very short of blanks & do not like to use one unnecessarily. Respectfully [[signature]] Alice C. Fletcher [[/signature]] Special Indian Agt.
