In

all other papers relating to such allotments
and segregation. I have the honor to
transmit herewith copy of said report of
November 11, 1903 and a copy of a report of

The report of the Commission of December 31,
1903, and the report of the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs thereon, are under
consideration by the Department, and when a

thereof will be made to the Senate.
Very Respectfully
