WASHINGTON.
Personal
March 8, - 1904.
The Secretary of the Interior:
Old Chief Joseph will have to have his fare paid back
from Washington. He needs not only his ticket but some money
to pay his expenses. Please have this done; and send for him
and talk to him through an interpreter and tell him that he
must never come on here again unless the Secretary of the
Interior sends for him, and that never again will his fare
be paid. He is a great old Indian, a really noteworthy man,
and I want to show the old fellow consideration this time.
The sooner he and his party have the bill paid, the quicker
the expense will come to an end. I think it is now over
$400.
