Today I received the buffalo robe safely, and I thank you most sincerely for it.  In asking you to send me a robe I did not mean to be understood as asking you to give it to me, much less of robbing you of a skin you had procured for your own use, and which I am sure you prized.  I was willing and expected to pay for it.  I thought that by sending to you I should be sure of getting a real good one; and, of course, like the majority of Eastern people, I supposed choice robes might be very easily obtained almost anywhere among the Indians.
