Dear Harrel,
I have your letter telling me about the "brick walls" of the official City, but keep a stiff upper lip you will get through they will listen Jro you when they find you want and will have an answer
befor3 you leave, j have been up against these fellows, and had to
tell them that I had come to spend the balance of my term of office
or get something,then they would talk to me in order to get rid of
me.
Well, now comes some news for you, I was gome 15 days on my western trj) left positive instructions with Miss Ruey to send me a report of what Shrece and Thompson was sending in and make copies of certain contracts that shreve had made and was making between Ft.Stockton and El Paso

tration nept of the highway nept. when I was Secy, he went to worty: Tuesday Noon, he is a very capable man and will attend to the off when I am away, he is a ggod bookkeeper, and we will have some system to this office now, i told Miss H. to send you a stateagg.t
