Camping out for the summer - down Sound - And I am left a batchelor - they return Sept. 1st. Capt Willoughby seems to be getting on nicely at Neah Bay = Huntington we have not heard from except through a Manifest - or pronouncimnts in the form of a printed letter to you & dated at Carlin on the C.P.R.R. signed by his son James - who you will remember as the Trader Clerk at Neah Bay - with $100 - per month subsidy & presumed of course you must have received a copay - decidedly weak =

 Yesterday - I was at Olympia - saw Major Hayden & other of your friends - all will when you write be kind enough to informed us if any action has been taken by the Dept. on Webster's Cattle matter at Neah Bay - he seems very anxious about it =  Trusting that you have been allowed to return to Washington & rest from your labors for a time 
 I beg to subscribe myself
 Always yours truly
 Geo D Hill

Major John Hayden was a military surgeon and geologist
