Sm: I have the honor to transmitherewith a copy of a letter from L. E. Webb, lilsqu agent for the chip no funds up licable to the paymentof a physician r thoseIndians. that their annuitiesvare so [ml Ia] that they cannot pay one themselves. that there is I. necessityfor a physicist amen: them.there being Senate without this amendment. none nearer than 80 milesfromtheir reservation and asking that an application be made to Congress fornn appropriation to pay a physician, who shall resideWithor near the Indians. Agent Webb correctly sets forth the facts of the case, so far as they are within the knowledge of this oliico, and I haveno doubt there is the necessityhe statesfor a physician for those Indians. The amount of $1.50oper annum is specified by Agent Webb for paymentof a physician.who shall furnish medicinesfor the Indians at his own expense. This estimateI consider reasonable. I havethereforepreparedan estimatefor an appropriation for the object designated.which I have the onor to submithercwith. If you concur With the views of this offico as to the propriety and necessity of such an appropriation, I would respectfully suggestthat the matter be laid beforethe proper committeesof Congressat its presentsession.
