Major J.M. Hialt
Dear Sir:
Should you wish
any military post on
station with the Indians
now with you. Please
present this note to the Commanding Officer
to whose kind attention
I commend you.

I remember so well my pleasant intercourse
in the past that I desire
you to be favorably viewed
at much places under
the control of this De-
partment as you may wish
Yours Very Truly
