United States Indian Service, Crow Agency Mont Ty December 10th, 1883.

Dear Rogers I must trouble you once more in regard to my Kansas property. I sent the Contract to the Land Comr Col. A. S.? Johnson Topeka who reports that they have no record of the assignment that J. A. Clapp made me after my return from Mass. It was made I believe in Nov, 1875, and was attached to the contact,--in removing the receipts etc therefrom, you undoubtedly removed the assignment from J. A. Clapp. Albert Clapp (Johns father) made his assignment to me on the back of the contract, and it of course is O.R.? If you do not succeed in finding the assignment from John to me, please have him fill out the inclosed form and forward same to me as soon as possible for I'm very anxious to get the matter in some decent shape. John is working for R. H. White & Co in Washington St. I've owed him a letter for many months and I wish you would say
