Sir,

I have the honor to transmit herewith my Account current for the third quarter of 1852 in the Indian Department.

    I now have to request that some officer Stationed at Fort Myers, or other responsible person, may be authorized and directed to relieve me from the charge of this money.

    My health no longer permits me to go to Fort Meyers to open the chest when funds are called for.

Very Respectfully,
Yr Obd Serv

Hon. Luke Lea
Com Ind Aff.

P.S. I beg leave to offer my thanks to the Com for the 2nd Vol of the Ind. Vol of the Ind. Hist. published by the Govt.

In addition to the balance of money to be paid to Mr. Blake, as mentioned in my letter of yesterday, I have to request that you will pay him the further sum of $10.000 & take his Dupl. receipts  therefor.

Dear Sir, about a year since I wrote to you for certain sub-vouchers or testimony required by the Treasy Dept. in support of the small account paid by me to you - on March 10. 1851 - being for your personal expense while visiting this section of the state on Ind. Duty. I never recd any reply from you. This morning I have recd. a second call from the 2d Auditor of the Treasy for the evidence. If the money justly paid to you, will be charged to me unless this evidence is produced. I have to request yr prompt attention to this account.

    Yr. affidavit that the a/c is correct & just, and that it was not practicable for you to produce the subvoucher required - (or recpt. for each payment by you.) after you knew such sub-vou. were required will be the best evidence that the case affords I presume.

    At all events, I hope you will send me such vouchers or affidavits as will present the facts of the case x x x
