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.
