falsehood. accompanied with such discourtesy and
incivility on such small matters that have for
borne to trouble the Commission with the details OF
what was subjected to by tie Secretary Of the In

Justice to all concerned demands that should at
least say to you that long before my statement was
presented, when was endeavOrng to ascertain the
true state of Indian affairs, was repeatedly treated
with indignity by both these officials In their own

il is the sincere wish and purpose OF tn,
