Cherokee Agency, August 2, 1888.
GENTLEMEN: BY your note of this date, in re-
ply to my remarks of yesterday, on our estimate
of the day before, perceive that, after full con-
sideration, you dhere to the calculation of $685.
$50, with slight addition for soap, for the COM
Portable emigration, by land, of every thousand
Cherekees from this to their new country west of
the Mississippi.


As the Cherokee people are exclusively inter-
ested in the cost as we'll the comfort of the re-
moval, do not feel myself at liberty to withhold
my sanction. The estimate, therefore, submitted
to me on the 3lst ultimo, with the small addition
for soap, is hereby approved.


remain, gentlemen, yours, respectfully,


WINFIELD SCOTT.
