Kamiah Nez Perce Res. Idaho.
July 11, 1890.

Hon. Commis. of Indian Affairs.
Sir:

I would respectfully ask that authority be granted me to purchase for the use of the four gov't horses in my charge during the present quarter:

2150 lbs of oats. at not to exceed 2 cents per lb.
2000 lbs. of hay   "  "   "    "   1   "    "   "

By August the grass is so dried that the horses cannot find any pasture, so that hay will be needed for their use while working during August and September.  Even now there is but little feed on the mountain sides.

Respectfully
