Sir: I have the honor to inform you that all the Indians on the Tejon farm and in the vicinity of Fort Tejon, some two hundred in number, have been removed from there to the Tule River farm.

The Indians at Tejon were reported to me as being in a very bad condition and suffering for food. Having no means of subsisting the there, I ordered their removal to Tule River. They left Fort Tejon on the 6th of this month.

Mr. G.S. Hoffman, Special Agent at Tule River. informed me under date of June 24th that the harvesting had been completed and yielded 70.000 lbs barley and 200.000 lbs wheat; which with the crop of beans and potatoes will be an abundance to subsist the Indians now on the farm, or likely to be placed there, for the present season

Very Respectfully Your Obt Servant, Austin Wiley Supt of Indian Affairs

To Hon Wm P. Dole Commissioner Washington.
