[[preprint]] 346 [[/preprint]] 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 [[signature]] Alice C. Fletcher [[/signature]] Spl. Ind. Agt.
