need of the invoices or bills of this
lot of goods in particular
I found at Crescent City (Smith
River Reservation) that he had
procured cetificates of [illegible] of clothing
to be [illegible] in black and that no
clothing had been issued.

To what extent these certificates
have been filled up I cannot
guess but presume his [illegible] to your
office will show

I will gather all the evidences
here & await copy of invoices
unless further or otherwise instructed
If Mr [H?] seeks to [leave?] the country
Mr Sharp will have him arrested

Very Respectfull your
