[[preprinted]] 366 [[/preprinted]] Ft. Lapwai Idaho. May 5, 1891 Hon. Comm'r of Indian Affairs Sir: I would respectfully request that I be allowed to purchase 2500 lbs of oats or barley for feed for the gov't horses under my charge. The season promises to be a dry one and crops short and I fear there may be trouble later to get food. I think I can buy some now at two cents per pound. I therefore ask for 2500 lbs of feed at a cost not to exceed 2 cents per lb. Respectfully [[signature]] Alice C. Fletcher [[/signature]] Spl. Ind. Agt.
