[serves?] flowing from [ninth?] units the Gila in eastern
Arizona, the old Apacharia of the Spaniards.
Their settlement by our people, will in a short time
completely alter the states of the Indian tribes
in that section, as it is probably the finest portion
of Arizxona, for health, pasture and agriculture.
You will find my old friend, Mr. Herman [E?]
whom I have not seen for several years, to be a
very useful person to assist you in all enquiries
relating to these parts and their Indian population,
as his residence on this coast has been since 1847,
and his education and studies will be of great advantage. His
profession of surveyor, he having made an excellent
map of Arizona and [fornia?] in 1859, will enable him
during his term of office, to make you an
excellent peer and ink map of the position of
the old ruined towns, then hyeroglyphics, old irrigating
canals and other remnants of the ancient tribes.

I hope the Bureau, during your term of office
may have the honor of publishing an outline
Ethnological map of North America, locating
the Indian tribes from the Arctic to Panama
on the plan proposed in the last Smithsonian
Report by Mr. Morgan, My Indianology
