closely the conduct of Mr. Smith toward them during his former term of office.

    I am satisfied that he discharged the duties 

among them most acceptably to them, and with a strong desire for their benefit, and permanent improvement, physically and morally and that his services to them were more beneficial, and disinterested than those of any other Agent within my knowledge.

         I would respectfully recommend 

the appointment of Mr. Smith to the office indicated, as one eminently fit [?]made.

              Yours respectfully

                       Geo. W. Dyer
