the month of rovsrbor this district was

 to th atr.or^lly dry aoaoon for tMa tine of t?*> "ear. 

 Thi3 cla:; cr rrao checked on or about the elphth, when 

 sore rain fll. Ho'.-ever, th o-n rreather that ensued, 

 torether vlth t'ia few hotire of warns BUR per day soon 

 driei out all ex^osod situationo ?rith the rseult that 

 thor was nore or lees fire danger during the latter 

 part oT the r.onth. Seven days in this north were devoted 

 to fir* patrol aivt three dayo were s^ent '.rith the reoon- 

 raiooar.o* r-arty near . Peanut. I enjoyed this work v?ry 

 uoh (dt*t l&ugji, Patton) and would like to have spent 

 ituoh rov3 tirse with then. 



T!:ere is not rtuch of intoreet to relate in re- 

 etri t.o the harpenings in thio diatriot at this period 

 OT tj. ye,-r, so I will have to nake it up \7ith something 



The iiatriot differo from all othero, I believe, 

 in t!l> foroet. Th9 hea<?.rv.ar* era of our other r.anfrerc 

 ar altumtei epproslimttly in the center of their 

 2i3trlot, which ia of oourae, as it nhould be. The 

 iorrest fcltitvrte in District 4 is in tho neighborhood of 

 35' C feet tr.d there are positively not slteo at al 



le for t o establiohjnent of rorrAnent ^an^er head- 

 qxiartcra, ven if BUch aitfia -./ere available, I doubt if 

 it vov.ld be wise to talra advantage of then t?ince tho 

 district is o e::trerely unriottled. I tliink that throe 

 men f ---n the population all t^c- year around. It is ur.- 

 neceaoarf to eav that onor/B are usually vary heavy and 

 it ia nourly always r-ressnt until late in the prlnf. 

 It ia easily to be seen then, that this ntate of affairs 

 is a great drejrback. As you all '/now, it IB a rr-^at 

 convenier.o to lire in e.rcr.^st your r/em;lttee arvl 

 other Poreot wcera. Eere in this district tho>e are no 

 Foreat uoep of or.y deoorir^ior (v?ith t;.e eroc-^tio?: of 

 the tK-*e before rcntioned, ar.-*. one cr 'hoei only is a 

 permittee) thmt llv in the district all the 7**r
