Major James P. Roy, or Commanding Officer District Indian Territory
Major:- I have to thank you for the very efficient and ready attention you have given all my wishes in regard to my new duties. It appears now that all the Kiowas and Comanches will be in and my work here will be very responsible and arduous, and if you will permit Capt. Alvord to remain and assist till I can get my hand in, it will be of great service to me.
My duties assigned him have been exceedingly well done and he knows more of my work than I can learn in a month. Also, if Jones is able and can come up for a short time to assist in Interpreting it will be of great use. Our only interpreter at present is McCusker who is married in the tribes here and may be subject to improper influences.
I will be at Arbuckle on the 15th instant.
Very respectfully
