labor, controled by a Superintendent to [give?] them
clothe and feed them respectably;
I am confidant my dear sir, that if you will
investigate this matter, you will discover it is to the
interest of the Indians and the Community at Large
that they be farmed out to good and responsible
ranchmen who will become [denture?] for them
during the time they may be so apprenticed
to such ranchmen.
I write this at the suggestion of many of
the citizens of this County.
By corresponding with Als Loomis, RH Thomas,
Harry Wilson, Capt Eastman; J. G Lyles
and I. G Doll you will be more fully sat-
isfied that some such course should be
adopted by the Commissioner in relation to the
Indians in Tehama County.

Yours Respectfully
GW Jeffress
