Please state here the amount granted for the above with reasons for same.

The Committee were unanimous (therefor I as Chairman had no vote) that Dr George Murray should receive ten dollars and no more for the above Acc: The Committee thought five dollars a day for four successive days was too much for a poor indian. Twenty dollars in four days for visits and two dollars for medicines appeared too much for visits and too little for Medicine.
