The Honorable The Commissioner of Indian Affairs Washington, D.C. My Dear Mr. Commissioner: Responsive to your letter of September 13, 1922, calling attention to circular number 1774, the following is an extract from data acquired through personal visits of the writer at the homes of the Indian named: James Logan Allottee No: 300 Age: 74 Degree: Full Status: Ward Family: Wife, two sons and grandson. Home on Sycamore creek. Allottee owns two ponies and two mules. Mr. Logan farmed a truck and garden patch this year. He has plenty of chickens, a few hogs and considerable fruit put up for winter use. Mr. Logan lives in a four room frame house, located on his homestead allotment. Outside improvements consist of a smoke-house, barn and well. The dwelling house is in good repair and out-buildings are well kept. James Logan has been a very active and industrious man; bears a good reputation and does such work now as his health and advanced age will permit. He and his wife together, own eighty acres of land–about forty-five acres in cultivation. There is no Indian problem at this home. Mrs. Logan speaks the English language and her native language. No agricultural movement can be put forward here. Mr. Logan is old and will do what he can to provide the necessaries of life for himself and wife without suggestions from the Government. He is a Civil War veteran and draws a pension.
