Ft. Miller Cal Feby 12th 1864
Hon: John Conness,
Dear Sir,
I have the liberty to enclose to you triplicate vouchers, for a claim I hold against the Indian dept, for services [rendered?] to the Indian at Colville, during my [illegible] in that vicinity
I also enclose the letter of Mr C. S. Miller, in whose name I left the vouchers for collection which explains itself
I sent these papers to you, because I know of no one in Washington whose buisness it is to attend to such matters; with the request (if not consistant for you to attend to it for me) that you will hand them to some suitable person, in that buisness who will collect the money for me, taking his fees from the amount and send the rest to Mrs. Matilda Parry, Arcata, Humboldt County California
Hoping that all goes well for our glorious union and that you will excuse me for [illegible] you with this business, I remain Respectfully [illegible] Isaac Parry [Surg?] [2?] [Ind?]

Dear Friend
Enclosed please find your voucher which has but a few days since been returned to me although I requested if not paid to be sent back some time since hernce my delay in writing you. My cousin J M Murphy to whom I sent the vouchers for collection advises me that at last the Indian Supt hold all back claims would have to be forwarded to Washington where you will collect the same. I never could understand why Maj Rumsill voucher was paid and not this one. We havethe vouchers returned to us, Dr I have endeavored to serve you the best I could and I am not to blame for the delay I hope you will receive your vouchers and return me acknowledgement of receipts
With best wishes I Remain very Respectfully Yours C S Miller
