Singer has been laid off in the rear of a Quarter belonging to l\fr. Nelson- From our intimacy with Capt. Singer we know it was not his wish to have in that way and·we assure you it is entirely contrary to ours-We state this to you thinking it must have been represented that we prefered it in the way it is now surveyed and request that you will permit it to be run through from the river to the prairie in the same manner that all the other Quarters have been- .
