To E. A. HAYT,
Commissioner,
Washington, D.C.:
September 27, 1879
Sir: In answer to your exceptions to my property account for first quarter 1879, I would say that the eight police edits received for December 20, 1878, are properly accounted for in the office copy of property returns for said quarter. If the same do not appear in the copies forwarded to your office, it is doubtless owing to an omission in copying the same.
Very respectfully,
N.C. MEEKER,
Indian Agent
