of any Department Officer, Inspector or Special Agt relative to my work from the commencement to the close of my official career. I am glad to be appt by the Comr as Issue Clerk (salary $1000) as it places me beyond the power of the Agt to discharge me in case of personal trouble. If I could be retained as Clerk I would probably remain in the service for perhaps another year. But I doubt my staying here as issue Clerk. I can do better outside. Its a mystery to me to this day how, in the face of the perfectly horrible times they have over Indian accts ever? when made up by Clerks of some considerable experience, they ever in the wide world came to ask the agent to resign and immediately after to retain me. there is not such an event? possible as for an agent and clerk, both new to the work, to get up their accounts in any shape to save the agents bondsmen from more or less loss. This is known only too well at the Bureau. do what you can to get me reinstated as Clerk and Mr Blake transferred to another agency. I desire to stay here on acct of the Chandlers. Libbie is much better since her hemorrhage. Much love, in haste, C.
