Dr.-- I don not wish to annoy you by unnecessary correspondence but would be much obliged if you would give me your opinion in regard to my getting back pay for teaching and transportation.  I expected according to information received from you and Major Pierce that I would get pay and transportation forwarded by the 1st of November but have been disappointed.  I would really wish to know if you are able to tell me what the result will be for I am living in suspense expecting to receive it.  I consider that as laborers in this work we have been roughly treated by the Bureau.  I earnestly hope that you will use your influence to procure my just dues.

Your Obt Servant
M.B. Badger
