No. 268 LETTER FROM L. H. WILLIAMS TO THOMAS G. WESTERN Trading House Post No 2 August 1st 1845.
Maj Thos G. Western Supt of Indian Affrs
Dear Sir.
Yours of the 22nd Ult pr Jack Harry is at hand and contents duly noticed. In reply re- specting the Invoices of Messrs Torrey and Co I will say that they are made out to the 1st July 1845. And the balance of them will be made out in a few days when I shall forward them to your office. The order on the Sheriff of Milam County for Red Bears horses is likewise received, and in reply I woulcl say that I cannot leave this Post to g-o after them at this time without serious neglect to my duty here. as my presence is required here almost every hour. And you have not authorized me to employ any person to go after them. consequently they will have to remain where they are, at the present, until some arrange- ment can be made to get them to this place. I would however respectfully suggest the proprity of your employing some per- son to bring them up here as soon as possible, as Red Bear is getting impatient about them. Jim Shaw arrived here three day since from the Comanche Camp on the Colorado, and brings a letter from Sloat which you will find enclosed. A Report ha::; reached the Comanche that a company of about 60 men are about leaving the settlements on the Colorado, for the purpose of making surveys up in the Indian Country. and they send in word by Jim. that this party must not go out for that purpose. or it will be productive of difficulty and Sloat wishes me to request you by all means to put a stop to it if possible. I shall send your "talk" to Jose tomorrow. Jim Shaw returned yesterday. No other news of importance Yours Respectfully L. H. Williams Indian Agent Post No. 2.
