Montezuma urges Mike Burns and the McDowell Indians to keep McDowell land and Verde River water; NOT to move to Salt River Reservation as proposed.

Replying to Montezuma's earlier January letter of the same year, Acting Commissioner of Indian Affairs C.F. Hauke tells Montezuma that it is in the best interests of the Fort McDowell Indians to move to the Salt River Reservation.

Letter to Montezuma from his cousin Charles Dickens: Dickens complains of the nosiness of a Mr. Coe (presumably the Indian agent?) and the misplacement of an earlier letter.

In the letter, Montezuma defends the water rights of the Fort McDowell community and the construction of a proposed dam, and states emphatically that "it is not their wish to move."

Letter from cousin Charles Dickens at McDowell, Arizona, requesting monetary help for an establishment of a store on the reservation: Dickens also promises to send Montezuma some baskets.
