Mr. Martin Cross
Elbowoods, No. Dak.

Dear Mr. Cross, 

As requested by Senator, Milton R. Young, I am sending you the attached application form for issuance of Buffalo meat to Indian organizations for consumption. 

Please fill out the application and return it to this office for consideration. The Superintendent of the Indian Agency having jurisdiction in your area should endorse your request. 

For your information, we are unable to make a definate [[definite]] promise to fill your order at this time, but we will make every effort to do so. Our annual supply of surplus buffalo meat is very limited and we make every effort to distribute the meat to the greatestnumber of Indian organizations which will benefit the greatest number of Indian people. 

It is noted that you desire two buffalo for your meeting. It may be necessary to reduce your request to four quarters depending on the available supply and the number of people to consume the meat.

Yours truly, 
(Sgd.) Earl M. Semingsen
