for his money for that check (over $4,200) for the first lot of 220 head delivered. well I had no money, and hence rain stared one or both of us in the face; and as temporary relief, I have this day turned him over at cost, the balance of the goods not shipped to the Reservation; he took them at cost, & sent them to the mines to cash. Although he could purchase the same goods in San Francisco from 10 to 20 per ct cheaper.

Of course I will be bound to the department for them, and after the certificate of issue of those sent to Round Valley, Mendocino & Smith River & the Rec't for the bal, from my successor is obtained, I will forward the sum & be charged with the balance which will thereby appear.

I regret this course, but the necessity will plead the excuse.
