under my orders at the Post above the Falls of the Brazos with instructions to intercept the Indians with your Children if pos- sible; through the friendly Tribes more Contiguous, the Co- manche Chiefs were apprised of the outrage and in the short space of time of only two months and seven days your son was released and again amongst us- It is with unfeigned pain I no- tice the fate of your little Daughter. She died on the day she left you, as I am informed, in this bereavement you have the Conso- lation that She Suffered but little, and is now an Angel in Heaven. I must forbear to enter into the details of this mournful Subject-your little Son, can best furnish the particulars. May Divine Providence in future protect you and yours may He endow you with fortitude to bear with the ills which we as mortals are subject to in this vale of tears and assuage your Sorrows, and that he may here after render you prosperous and happy is the sincere prayer of-Madam-
