[Letter]
San Francisco, California
March 4, 1852
Sir,
The "duplicate" of your letter, dated January 9th, informing me that my contraction with the Indian Department of this country moved cease on its receipt, reached me through "Agent Wozencraft" with more than ordinary promptness and despatch. On reaching this city I received the original and have only time to say, your decision regarding the public property in my possession shall be followed on tomorrow.
I only render my accounts to the Department at as early a day as possible. I have all the incomplete vocabulary of several Indian Tribes or Bands which I will arrange as far as I can and forward to the Department.
Very respectfully
Your obedient servant
Adam Jonston
Hon. Luke Lea
Commissioner of Indn. Affairs
