No. 162 LETTER FROM THOMAS G. WESTERN TO BENJAMIN SLOAT AND L. H. WILLIAMS
Superintendency of Indian Affs Washington 12 Feby. 1845
Messr. Sloat and Williams Agents-Council Ground Gent.
Yours of the 6th inst. came to hand last evening. The affair of Red Bear and the Mexican turned out just as I expected, the Bear is a good old Indian and the Mexican a Scoundrel. It would have been gratifying to have handed the fellow over to you for correction but your information was too late, he was liberated and has vanished, but, you may be on the alert, he got off so easy this time that h-3 may be caught prowling about again, and in case he should, I now recommend him and all others of his kin to your very particular attention, you will know how to treat him.
