Sir:

Enclosed please find bill of Jesse Holladay incurred
during Mr Hanson's administration and to which I
referred in my communication of 10th Dec 1864.

The bill was contracted at coin price and as we
are compelled to depend upon Mr Holladay for all our
transportation to Smith River and Hoopa I am anxious
that it should be promptly paid.

You will observe that a portion of it has been standing
for more than four years and although it is not
more urgent and legitimate than other accounts for Mr
Hanson's contracting it is of more importance to me
because of my dependence on Mr Holladay's steamers for
transportation in the absence of funds.

Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
Austin Wiley
