Sir, I have the honor to acknowledge the rect of Invoice of Goods Shipped from N. York 23rd June also the arival of the goods at this place.

I shall proceed to the Round Valley Reservation first I set out on tomor-row and issue to the Indians at that place their portion, & from thence to Mendocino & Smith River Valley, and although the amt. of goods sent to them is so very small; beleive me it would do your soul good, to see with what delight each one will receive its little share, some a shirt, some a calico dress, some a pair of pants & or material to make them out of.
