I herewith return you the P.O. Certif. amended as you desire. Warrants very dull. The funds I send you to—day [sic] are Government funds, but I hope to sell enough to put it back in safe. I send it with the knowledge and at the suggestion of the Secretary of the Territory.

Great is the trouble about lots and titles and one of ours is invalued, but I'll straighten it out
