A L 1 etter to Bowles, the principal Chief of the Cherokees and other Head-men of that tribe.
May 26th. 1839.
To Col. Bowles, and other
Head men of the Cherokees:
I have learned with much surprise, that you
have ordered Major \Vaters from the great Saline. In this, you have committed an error. That officer was acting under the au- thority and orders of this Government, and any attempt on your part, either by force or threats, to impede the execution of his duty, cannot be regarded by the Executive in any other light than as an outrage upon the sovereignty of the Nation., You and your People have been deceived by evil counsellors. The forked tongue of the Mexicans has beguiled you; and you are running into dangerous paths, contrived by the enemies· of Texas, for our injury and your ruin. Be wise then in season. Abandon "'Copy. In no. 361. Another copy is in the Texas Archives, "Indian Affairs."
