In the Field. Nez Perce.
Aug. 19.   9

Hon. Comm'r of Indian Affairs

Sir:
I herewith transmit my Estimate of Funds for the First Quarter 1890. There has been delay in forwarding the estimate, because I had to await the orders from the Surveyor Gen. to Mr. Edson D. Briggs, before I could know the number of assistants to estimate for, who will be needed on the new survey. The orders reached Mr. Briggs yesterday.

Respectfully
