TEXAS INDIAN PAPERS, 1844-1845
No. 352 LETTER FROM THOMAS G. WESTERN TO L. H. WILLIAMS Washington Oct 20 1845 L. H. Williams Esqr .Indian Agent Sir I am informed by a gentleman at the Trading House Post No 2 under date of the 13 inst, that some 50 Indians, Cherokee of the Ridges party passed by that place the day previous on their way west to select a country upon which to settle, as they say, and that they pretend to have permission from the U States Govt to that Effect, this cannot be, these Indians are to be considered as intruders and must be treated as such. You will avail yourself of the first oppor- tunity to inform them that without the permission of the Govt. of Texas they will not be permitted to hunt, much less to reside in Texas. You will order them forthwith to retire to their homes in the U. States and not return here without permission of the actual Govermt of Texas, by which I am authorized to make this known. It is confidently bel'ieved that you will rigidly perform this duty and report to the Bureau at the City of Austin, for such further instructions as occasion may require
Respectfully yours etc [T. G. WESTERN]
