1st The supervisor, whose duty it is to see daily to the correct administration of the reserve The supervisor is responsible for all of the public property on the Reservation - to me - and through him all issues are made to the employees and the indians. In case of an uprising among the indians that he cannot repress by his influence & persuasion, or in case of an intru sion by whites upon the reservation, or their molestation of the indians on the reserve, or that wild indians shall make a raid upon the reserve, or drive off any of the public reservation stock, of cattle mules or horses, the su pervisor will call in the aid of the military stationed at Fort Wright, but in no case will he ask such aid, unless the necessity is urgent and imperative, and then only in writing stating clearly the necessity requiring and the aid required; it being my positive intention, that no official communi cation be held by this department, with the military department of this district except in writing

The supervisor will in case of any call upon, the military report to me-, at as early a day as possible consistant with the public interest - the fact, with a copy of his requisition and any answer he may receive thereto - The employees on the reserve are under the especial control of the supervisor, and any neglect or malconduct on their part must be reported to me without favortism or prejudice

The supervisor will remain upon the reservation with his family and be entitled to two (a boy & girl) indians to assist in the house, & two boys to assist in the yards, corrals &c, and one to go to & from with communications and to get the mail matter for the reservation. With these indians the supervisor will conduct as with the white hired help, and allow each that performs his or her duty well, at the rate of twenty five dol lars per year in clothing, trinkets, beads &c, that shall be sent to the reservation for issue in indian service. The supervisor will draw his subsistance and that of his family from the stores, of the reservation

During the time the supervisorship shall be under the control of Doct Wm P. Melendy, he will also be required to give what medical attention may be necessary to the indians

He will also keep a book in which shall be kept the time of all the employees & the house hold indians, & the debit of all payments made to them, but in no case will payment be made in monies to indians, the necessaries of life in clothing & such trinkets as may be deemed advisable for them being their only compensation.

The supervisor will take replicate receipts in my name for all monies disbursed to employees but in no case will he make payments, beyond the actual amount then due them - receipts to be taken only in case of actual payment, and for the exact amount to be entered before being signed by employee

The supervisor will also see, that all property seemed to employees & indians, for use, is returned to the proper place of safe, keeping when the service is completed, for which the issue was made.
