As I have an equal pride with the Department at Washington, in bringing order out of the chaos which has long existed in the State in the Indian Department. I trust it will not be insisted upon that I shall comply with your instructions of the 23rd.

Very Respectfully.
Your Obt Servant.
Austin Wiley
Supt Indian Affairs. Cal.

Hon. Chas. E. Mix,
Acting Commr.
Washington
