INTRODUCTION OF DOMESTIC REINDEEK INTO ALASKA. 139 



Left at Golovin Bay 8 Government deer November 21. 



Added to the herd 290 Government deer November 23. 



Killed 1 Government deer November 25. 



In Port Clarence 7 Government deer Noveml^er 25. 



Total number in herd 549 Government deer on reaching Synrock. 



One deer is sick and had to be hauled for the last 25 miles. 1 do 

 not know that it will get well. Charley has received 42 of the 100 

 which I learn were landed at Port Clarence for him. I can not find 

 out where the rest of them are, nor what ship landed them at Port 

 Clarence. You probably know more about that than 1 do. Charley 

 states that he has learned that some have wandered into the herds 

 around Port Clarence. 1 will try and hnd where they all are, as I 

 intend to go on through with Mr. Lopp's deer. You will notice that 

 I did not get enough from the herd at Golovin Bay to pay Charley as 

 I intended, but 1 think that with the deer which 1 find in his care that 

 all will be well and that I can pay the number back in full. 



The deer are in an excellent condition and traveling is good. I send 

 three men home from here, and take three to Cape Prince of Wales 

 with me. Personally speaking, I am well and enjoying the com- 

 forts (?) on the trail. 1 trust that I ma}" be worthy in every way of 

 your confidence and may do the work well. I am sorry the herd at 

 Golovin Bay did not meet your expectations. Every deer was las- 

 soed and counted, and I think you would have made the same division 

 I did had you been present. 



Very respectfull}^ your servant,
