Sir

Your note of yesterday, enclosing a copy of what purports to be a copy of the statement of several persons in regard to hunting cattle on the Reserve was received by Mr. S J Billings last night. In reply I have to say that I regret to see an old citi- zen of Texas who has filled many offices under the Republic & State and now holds a commission from the Federal Government in communications that should be strictly official and coached in courteous terms discend to personalities which I regard with contempt.
