Mr. Noah F. Byars who hands you this has been appointed and is now Gun Smith at your post for the Indians, he has no tools, and as it is reported to me that the Trading House has a Sett of tools, he visits your place to ascertain the fact, you will give him such information as you may have on the Subject and also communicate with the matter, if there should be none with you, perhaps you recommend him where he can find some in your immediate neighborhood, and assist him to purchase them for account of the Govt. and report to me, it is important that he should go to work without loss of time. Enclosed I hand you t.he New law amendatory to that of 1843, for your government, in it you will find all the instructions necessary to deal with the interlopers who pretend to trade un- lawfully and entice Indians int-0 the settlements.
