Ft Lapwai Idaho
Oct. 6. 1890

Hon. Commis of Indian Affairs.
Sir:

Your letter dated Sept. 24. 1890 and marked "A. Letter [[?324]]}1890
                                                       [[?704]]}1890
Authority 24 2.68" has just reached me.
I thank you for your offer to permit me to secure a corrected voucher in place of [[???]] containing the clerical error.  Unfortunately for my acceptance ^[[of your kindness, I had received the certificate of deposit from the bank and mailed the original to the 2d Auditor and the duplicate to you before your letter arrived.  It would have taken [[??]] or more to reach Mr Randall and explain the matter to him, even if I were so fortunate as to find him at home, and it would hardly be right for me to occupy so [[?]] terms in rectifying my own blunder, never the less I thank you for your consideration.

Respectfully
