Office of Indian Affairs,
San Francisco, Cala,
July 6th, 1864.

Sir:
Mr Steele informs me that just previous to his being
removed as Superintendent of the Northern District, Col
Henley, Sup't under Democratic Administration, notified
him that he was ready to turn over one hundred head of
cattle which were in his (Henley's) possession but belonged
to Government. I saw Col Henley while
in Round Valley a few weeks since, but he said nothing
to me on the subject. I wish the Department would
correspond with Mr Steele in regard to the matter,
and request him to furnish me with such facts as may
be in his possession touching the case.

Very Respectfully,
Your Ob't Servant,
Austin Wiley
Supt Indian Affairs.

Hon. Wm. P. Dole,
Commissioner of Ind Affrs,
Washington, D.C.
