Th© department made two dellvoriec total­ ing 5359 head which nuaber was 3641 head short of the number stated In the contract. �Hon. J. C. ©’Mahoney Page Two Those sheep were contracted by :ao for the lanb feeder cuptonere of the First National Dank of Mitchell, Nebraska; the bank of course believing that the contract was iron clad and that the laiibs would be delivered, re-contracted these lambs to several of their custoners, making a contract to each individual and collecting as advance payment Ono hollar per head. The banli at fc’ltcholl, of course, is very much put out over this matter as it puts them on the spot witli their custoiaers who had no reason to believe tliiit tlie liLinbs T/ould not be delivered as per contract. Tho bank has now dooided, after due consid­ eration, to compel delivery of tliose lambs even If they have to bring suit.

Minty Gasper, Wyo. Dear Roy, I am enclosing herewith the correspondence taken from your files Satuifday, December 17th, also check in the amount of $205»01> which is half of the commission paid by Claude Wright. As you know there were 4,179 lambs delivered, making us a commission of $417»90. When Mr. ffright and I figured up at Mitchell Sunday, there was a diff­ erence of $11.88, between what he paid, and what he received for the lambs. Mr. Wright advises me that the Indian Department acknowledges overpayment, but did not state the exact amount, but advised that you would be reimbursed by the Indian Department. In order to settle with Mr. Wright promptly, I assumed liability for the $11.88, which was subtracted from the $417-90, making a total of $406.02. You may use your own judgment as to reimbursing me for the deficiency. You will isilso find among this pile of junk, my cancelled check in the amount of $12.50, which I paid the First National Bank of Riverton for clearance on drafts given by me. When I told Mr. Wright about this charge, he informed me that I should not have paid it, and would not right my mistake. So if you see fit you might share that with me. I hope this explains the matter clearly. I am also hoping that your attorney gets sufficient reimbursement to cover Mr. Wright’s lose, as well as yours and mine. Next year Ruger can have the Indian lambs • I want you to know that I appreciate your cooperation in this deal and I hope in the future that we may be able to have more and pleasanter dealings. Let me know if anything comes up that I might be able to handle.

Please advise attorney Ourham. ■^'he lambs contracted at J>ougiass also surprised us as they were very quiet about their movements on this deal and we did not Icnow of the purchase until the day before your letter was received. From all the evidence we have today it looks as though 3100 were contracted ihstead of 12,000. As to why these feeders should get excited at V^^lambs under present conditions and at this time of the year is too much for me. They undoubtedly have more faith in the general outlook of business for next winter and soring than we have. However, Hoy, if we find any of our customers interested in contracting we will sure refer them to you as we agree with you that there are plenty of good lambs in your territory and will be glad to see you get the business. It is my personal opinion that this is about all the contracting that ?ill be done here for some time an I ain inclined to think the majority of feeders are more interested In seeing how they come out on last years business at this time than in getting started on another deal. Vnhile last years feeding has shown Some profit, however, it is damn small compared with the loss of a year ago and should occasion some carefulness in contracting by our feeders. Trusting this finds you in good health and that the attorney can figure soj^e reasonable way to get action for us on the Indian contract, I remain.

DearRoy; Referring to our telephone conversation a few days ago with reference to the Indian Association contract, I advised you that I had written to Mr. Schwartz in Washington, asking that he contact the office of Inalan Affairs, and give us the dope as to the status of this Wind River Sheep Marketing Association, and also as to how we may proceed to recoup our claim for damages for the breach of the Association’s contract. I am in receipt to-day of a letter from Schwartz, in which he advises me that he has personally talked to the Assistant Counsel in the office of Indian Affairs, with the result that the office advises him that it does not have complete records on the Association, and practically nothing on this particular matter. He states further however, that Mr. Flickinger, Assistant Counsel of Indian Affairs, is directing the field office to make a complete report on the matter, so it may be determined what, if any, procedure lies open to our clienl for recovery of damages on this contract against the Indian Assoc­ iation, and he will report just as soon as this information is se­ cured. I hope that out of this we may be able to develop something that will furnish us an avenue for securing settlement. Very truly yours.
