Eureka [H.?] Bay California November 21st 1863,

To the Commissioner of Indian Affairs Washington -

Sir I am instructed by the Indian Agent here to forward you the enclosed voucher. I presented same to him for payment, but he said I had to forward same to you, the person who signs & transmits said voucher to me. (W.S. West) I paid him nearly a year ago. I thought it poorly [illegible] to have all this trouble, however. I hope you will attend to it, the amt is small, but it is still worth looking for,

by giving attention to the above you will much oblige Your Obt Servant Thomas Walsh Merchant
