My dear Stewart:



We expect to start today on a trip into the Tertiary deposits east of here where remains of fossil mammals have been found.  It will probably be necessary to return for a short time about the first of August.



In regard to the forty-dollar payment to W.E. Farrar the monthly statement for September is correct and agrees with the receipted statement and receipt of balance with was sent later.  There is only one $40 item on the September account.  When Peterson and Coggeshall were here there was an extra expense and in line with your instructions I sent you a statement to show the main items which were to be covered by the extra appropriation.  In the list due W.E. Farrar payment on Lumber $40.  I can see no other explanation than that face that this was reckoned in with that on the final monthly statement.



I am enclosing receipted balance and statement on account fo a later transaction with Mr. Farrar.  Mr. Farrar has no account fo the $39 check of which you sent me the photostat, and he has not sent the receipted statement which I had sent him.



I will write to the Telephone compnay and get the receipts which the Auditor say are lacking.  I will probably send them with report of July.
