Sir
Being advised that
you are acquainted with the construction of
adobe buildings and have engaged in that
business somewhat, I would like you to proceed

soil climate &c. advise me of the practicabillity
of erecting houses of that kind in the Valley for
indian use.

I would like also to be informed of the
probable costs of constructing adobe houses each

buildings to covered with board alias Shake roofs

portico, on each side. The shakes to be riven out of
pine timber Reserve indians to be used to all
extent possible in reduction of expense
