Burke, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Washington, D. C. My dear Friend: I have just wired the Secretary of the Interior, after seeing the offer made by General Scott to go out at once, if you want him to do so, to settle the Ute trouble, expressing the hope that it may be possible for him, the Secretary, to accept the offer. I have known General Scott, as doubtless you have, for many years as a wise and good friend to these particular Indians, and some years back, before you were in office. I believe, he settled a similar trouble to the satisfaction of all concerned. I would like to have from you, if you are willing to give it, a few lines of general introduction that will serve me and my friends when we go on our long walk April 19th through the intervening states and up into Canada. Such a letter might often be very serviceable in introducing me to people by the way. Sincerely yours, Herbert Welsh
