(Copy) Washington D.C. June 16th 1877 Black Fox [illegible] Dear Sir As there appears now some hopes of obtaining a settlement with the U.S. Government in regard to the Cherokee Matters, I will write you a line to inform you of our progress, and what is being done in the Department to that End. We have finally succeeded in having three Commissionrs appointed to investigate the Indian Office and during the investigation, Mr Smith the Commissioner and Mr Galpin the chief Clerk has been suspended, and a fair probability that other persons will occupy their places. The commission have been investigating the Indian affairs for the past ten days, after they complete their labors, or mission, of investigation we expect to have a commission appointed to examine into the whole Cherokee Matters, with powers sufficient to award all parties their just dues from the government. The prospect looks fair now to obtain a full settlement of all the N.C. Cherokee claims. Mr. Blunt and L R Welch will be fully exposed in all their schemes to defraud your people. If you wish to retain Miss Mary Dorherty as the Teacher for [your] Old Mission school for another year from the 30th of June it would be well for your school board to make such a request to her in writing, signed by your whole whole board, and have it forwarded to the Indian office here. If there are any of the members of your school board who decline to act or serve as one of the Board, call a meeting of your people within the District and have them select some man who will serve. Mr James Taylor is here, hard at work for your interest. I would be pleased to hear from you, and as we

In this letter of June 16, 1877, J. J. Newell writes to an unknown recipient (possibly James W. Terrell) regarding the progress of the “Cherokee Matters” in the Department of Indian Affairs. Newell explains three Commissioners investigated the Indian Office and Mr. Smith and Mr. Galpin have been suspended. He expects the commission will perform a full investigation to grant “all parties their just dues from the government” and reveal the fraud caused by Mr. Blunt and L. R. Welch. He also instructs this recipient on how to keep Mary Dorherty, a teacher at Old Mission school, employed for another year by making the request known to the board and forwarding it to the Indian Office.
