5- 1142 80500-25 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR UNITED STATES INDIAN FIELD SERVICE Towaoc, Colorado, November 4, 1923. Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Washington, D. C. Sir: Reference is made to Office letter dated Oct. 20, 1922, containing instructions relative to allotment work in the vicinity of Blanding. I am able to report that this work so far as making surveys is concerned is completed. Most of the applications have been filed, others have been partly prepared and will receive attention at the proper time. I am now ready to take up the work in the Paiute Strip. I think Bluff will be my nearest post office, at which point I can also receive telegrams. Respectfully, A.W. Simington Special Allotting Agent
