Genoa, Nebraska
February 18 [188]9

Secretary of the Interior
Washington, D.C.

Special Agent White has taken clerk and
I am left without competent help. Will you authorize
employment of clerk to take depositions, [?]

If you want investigation completed to prove
Chase's guilt, to remove him, I can make
report now, so that you can get it in two weeks,
if you want all material facts to review as
basis for settlement of his accounts it will take
four to six weeks more. Nearly every voucher,
for two years, false in items and raised in amounts.
Large transactions in Columbus, Lincoln and Omaha
which places must be visited to make thorough
investigation. Shall I ascertain facts as
to each voucher, or prepare reports now on basis of proving
guilt for final removal? Please send me definite instructions

Mallet
Indian Inspector
