JOHN CASTLEMAN TO AUSTIN
Colorado January 17 th 1826 DEAR Sm I wish to inform you that in my absence the Waco Indians Came to my House and plundered and Carried off the fol- lowing articals two sheets two Quilts and Wagon Cover and nearly all our wearing Clothing and Table Furniture. it appenrs from the Conduct of those Indians that we Cannot Settle the frontiers of this Colony unless we Can have an understanding with them. for if they are allowed to Rob and plunder it will be impossible to settle the frontiers of this Country for I am determined to ki11 the first one that undertakes to Rob me again. which will Commence a war. I have always wished peace if we Could have it on honourable terms. I do think peace Can be made with those Indians. but it is not my place to dictate for you- JOHN CASTLEMAN [Addressed:] Col 0 • Stephen F- Austin Felipe de Austin
