Distributed 1146 tracts and a great many books, an account of which, we have not received as yet. Held 417 meetings, with an average attendance of 21.

We have completed another meeting house, dedicated this summer, built by our Elders at a cost of $270, the best log house in the Choctaw Nation. At this writing all are well and prosperous in the Indian Territory Mission as far as I know. Very Respctfully Andrew Kimball.
