Kamiah Nez Perce Res. Idaho
Oct. 19  89

Hon. Comm'r. of Indian Affairs

Sir:
I have the honor to herewith transmit my accounts for the First Quarter 1890. I was obliged to wait until my return to my headquarters here from camping in order to reach my blanks and papers, hence the delay in forwarding my accounts.

I would also call your attention to Voucher No. 3, in that are three charges, for which I have not yet received authority, altho. I have notified you of the exigencies which necessitated the outlay. I refer to the amounts paid and covered by sub. vouchers Nos. 33, 23, & 22. The horses were absolutely without feed, and I was camped miles from any human habitation. The lameness of one of my team made it impossible for me to work without supplying him plows.

Respectfully
