Col. R. I. Dodge Dear Sir:

Inclosed find statement of a/c At July 1st last, and a draft to your order for the sum of One hundred fifty-eight & 11/100 dollars ($158.11) in settlement of a/c as rendered.

  "Our Wild Indians" goes slow now-a-days, it has had its day.  I doubt whether I shall ever

reach the 40 thousand I hoped for. An occasional order is the only business I have on it now, and these grow more and more infrequent.

  I trust you will pardon the delay in making up your a/c this time.  It is due to the fact that

we have been excessively busy in pushing campaign books. First we brought out Knox's "Lives of Blaine & Logan"; and as we did not wish to be partial we afterwards brought out Barnums' "Lives of Cleveland & Hendricks" We supply the books & the public may take its choice. I inclose circulars of both books.

 I received a letter from M. A Townsend a few days ago.  He says he is post trader at Fort Sully,

and he wanted 6 copies of "Indians" sent on. But he sent no money. I have sent the books, however, and I suppose he will pay for them. When his order came we had no books on hand, and we had no cuts printed either. I finally ventured to print an ed'n of 500 and had to wait
